Evaluation of the disco-vertebral junction using ultrashort time-to-echo magnetic resonance imaging: inter-reader agreement and association with vertebral endplate lesions.

To evaluate ultrashort time to echo (UTE) magnetic resonance (MR) morphology of the cartilaginous endplates (CEP) in cadaveric lumbar spines with bony vertebral endplate (VEP) lesions, to determine inter-reader agreement as well as associations between the CEP morphology and VEP lesions as well as other abnormalities. ⋯ UTE MRI enables evaluation of the CEP with substantial inter-reader agreement. Abnormal changes of the CEP may facilitate formation of lesions of vertebral endplate over time and are associated with degenerative changes of the lumbar spine.
