Segmentation procedure via semiautomated ROI cropping, threshold setting, and application of the threshold to adjacent disc parts. This approach was chosen to allow adequate segmentation of solely disc tissue without adjacent noise inclusion. The image shows the disc utilizing volume rendering with the MRI-Default setting within 3D slicer. Volume rendering, also referred to as volume ray casting, is a visualization technique that presents image volumes as 3D objects by assigning color and opacity to each voxel based on its image intensity. Through this process, the 3D representation of the volume is generated, allowing for more comprehensive analysis and visualization of the data
