Abstract Background To investigate the biochemical changes in lumbar facet joint (LFJ) and intervertebral disc (IVD) with different degenerative grade by T2* mapping. Methods Sixty-eight patients with low back pain (study group) and 20 volunteers (control group) underwent standard MRI protocols and axial T2* mapping. Morphological evaluation of LFJ and IVD were performed on T2-weighted imaging according to Weishaupt and Pfirrmann grading system, respectively. T2* values of LFJ and of AF (anterior annulus fibrosus), NP (nucleus pulposus), and PF (posterior annulus fibrosus) in IVD were measured. Kruskal-Wallis test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to compare T2* values of subjects with different degenerative grade. Results The mean T2* value of grade 0 LFJ (21.68[17.77,26.13]) was higher than those of grade I (18.42[15.68,21.8], p |
