Drew, Simon C., Silva, Pujitha, Crozier, Stuart, & Pearcy, Mark J. (2004) A diffusion and T2 relaxation MRI study of the ovine lumbar intervertebral disc under compression in vitro. Physics in Medicine and Biology, 49(16), pp. 3585-3592.
Abstract
The ovine lumbar intervertebral disc is a useful model for the human lumbar disc. We present preliminary estimates of diffusion coefficients and T2 relaxation times in a pilot MRI study of the ovine lumbar intervertebral disc during uniaxial compression in vitro, and identify factors that hamper the ability to accurately monitor the temporal evolution of the effective diffusion tensor at high spatial resolution.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
