Table 2.

Maximal pressure, total contrast volume and both pressure and contrast volume at initial evoked pain at discography

Disc Nr Min Max Mean SD
Total contrast volume 107 0.6 3.5 1.8 0.6
Volume at initial evoked pain 96 0.1 2.5 0.7 0.4
Maximal pressure 119 10 127 43 25
Pressure at initial evoked pain 94 3 72 24 16

Due to technical and human factors (invaluable figures, when doubt existed if pain was evoked etc.) all parameters were not registered in every disc. Volume is given in ml and pressure in pounds per square inch (psi)

SD Standard deviation
