Prevalence of Disc Degeneration in Asymptomatic Korean Subjects. Part 2 : Cervical Spine

摘要

ObjectiveSimilar to back pain, neck pain has recently shown to have increasing prevalence. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful in identifying the causes of neck pain. However, MRI shows not only pathological lesions but also physiological changes at the same time, and there are few Korean data. The authors have attempted to analyze the prevalence of disc degeneration in highly selective asymptomatic Korean subjects using MRI.
