Reproductibility of Lumbar Spine ADC Based on Different Post-processing Softwares

NCT02738424 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 98

Last updated 2023-07-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Lumbar spine bone marrow is well explored in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) but some bone marrow diseases are hard to analyze with this method. Furthermore, there is heterogeneity in normal bone marrow, called apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). Histological and technical factors appear to be the cause, but the possible influence of the employed post-processing software has never yet been evaluated. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is variability in lumbar bone ADC related to the post-processing software.

Conditions

  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Calculate the ADC scores

The MRI will be performed on the two groups of patients in the usual care. The intervention will be based on the ADC scores calculation. The scores will be obtained with three types of post-processing softwares : Siemens, PACS Carestream, Osirix.
