Time-Dependent Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Staging of Lumbar Disc Herniation Using T2 Signal-Intensity Ratios
Quantitative T2 SIRs track NP dehydration and may support reproducible LDH staging; however, clinical applicability is limited without outcome correlation. Prospective multicenter validation with follow-up, including resorption assessment, is needed.
