Abstract: Cartilage endplate (CEP) biochemical composition may influence disc degeneration and regeneration. However, evaluating CEP composition in patients remains a challenge. We used T2* mapping from ultrashort echo‐time (UTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is sensitive… read more here.
