The Evaluation Value of MRI Parameters for the Degree of Disc Degeneration in Patients with Lumbar Disc Herniation and Its Correlation with JOA and VAS Scores

Abstract

Abstract: Sixty patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) were selected and divided into mild degeneration group, moderate degeneration group, and severe degeneration group.MRI examinations were performed. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters in the 3 groups were compared, including the T2 values in the nucleus pulposus (NP) area and the annulus fibrous (AF) area. After testing and comparing, it was found that there were significant differences in the T2 values in the NP and AF areas of the three groups of MRI parameters, and they were positively correlated with the lumbar spine function score (JOA), and negatively correlated with the lumbar pain score (VAS) (P<0.05). The AUC of the combined identification of the T2 value of the NP area and the AF area for the mild to moderate, moderate to severe disc degeneration was greater than that of the single identification of each index, with higher evaluation efficiency. Therefore, MRI parameters have good value in evaluating the degree of intervertebral disc degeneration in LDH patients, which can provide an important reference for clinically clarifying the patient's condition.
