Multiscale and Multimodal Structure-Function Analysis of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration in a Rabbit Model

The objective of this study was to perform a quantitative analysis of the structural and functional alterations in the intervertebral disc during in vivo degeneration, using emerging tools that enable rigorous assessment from the microscale to the macroscale, as well as to correlate these outcomes with noninvasive, clinically relevant imaging parameters.
