Apparent diffusion coefficient in normal and abnormal pattern of intervertebral lumbar discs: initial experience☆
The aim of the present study was to compare the relationship of morphologically defined non-bulging/herniated, bulging and herniated intervertebral lumbar discs with quantitative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). Thirty-two healthy volunteers and 28 patients with back pain or sciatica were exami...
