Abstract
KEY POINTS: • Molecular intervertebral disc damage was associated with LBP and radiculopathy.• Patients with radiculopathy and LBP demonstrated a depletion of gagCEST values compared with healthy controls.• GagCEST imaging may be a non-invasive tool for investigation of degeneration processes of lumbar intervertebral discs (IVDs). GagCEST imaging may be an imaging biomarker for biochemical IVD alterations.Entities:
