A new four-area method for evaluating biochemical changes in lumbar facet joint degeneration on T2* mapping
Compared to all-inclusive method, four-area method provides higher reproducibility and accuracy in measuring T2* values. Thus, it is a more reliable approach for assessing biochemical changes in LFJ degeneration on T2* mapping.
