Fig. 1From: With axial loading during MRI diurnal T2-value changes in lumbar discs are neglectable: a cross sectional studyTypical color setting of the images used for the IVD segmentation (a). The images, used for IVD segmentation, were derived by fusing T1-weighted images with T2-map images to enhance the borders of the IVDs. The IVDs were divided in to five subregions (ROI1–5), each with different volume but the same sagittal measure (b)Back to article page
