Measurement of T2 and [23Na] in the discs of a normal (left panel) and a disc-punctured rabbit (right panel) of representative animals. Lumbar discs from L3-4 to L5-6 were punctured. Note that the measured T2 and [23Na] parameter show the similar pattern of change in the disc-punctured rabbit, while not clear in the normal rabbit.
