Representative 3D models showing volumetric assessment of VB, IVD and NP in normal controls, non-severe AIS and severe-AIS using manual segmentation and software of ITK-Snap. Note that the NP is shifted towards the convexity side in severe-AIS patient, which can be clearly seen as bright signal centre within the IVD on coronal reformatted image and as white coloured structure on the 3D volumetric image. IVD, intervertebral disc; NP, nucleus pulposus; A, anterior side; P, posterior side; CV, convex side; CC, concave side for all AIS subjects; R, right side; L, left side for all controls
