ADC variables according to Modic type group. The left panel shows predicted means from linear mixed-effects analyses for three ADC variables in each of three Modic type groups including a total of 224 MCs Th12-S1 in 90 patients. The right panel shows regression coefficient for Modic type 1 and type 3 groups using type 2 group as reference. ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient. MC, Modic change. MC-ADC, ADC in MC. MC-ADC%, ADC in MC in percent (0% = vertebral body, 100% = cerebrospinal fluid). MC-ADC-ratio, ADC in MC divided by ADC in normal vertebral body marrow
