Intervertebral disk width in dogs with and without clinical signs of disk associated cervical spondylomyelopathy

BMC Veterinary Research, 2012
Background Disk-associated cervical spondylomyelopathy (DA-CSM) is a multifactorial neurological disorder in which progressive caudal cervical spinal cord compression is mainly caused by one or more intervertebral disk protrusions.

Spatial mapping of collagen content and structure in human intervertebral disk degeneration

JOR Spine, 2020
Collagen plays a key structural role in both the annulus fibrosus (AF) and nucleus pulposus (NP) of intervertebral disks (IVDs). Changes in collagen content with degeneration suggest a shift from collagen type II to type I within the NP, and the ...

Semi-automated spine and intervertebral disk detection and segmentation from whole spine MR images

Informatics in Medicine Unlocked, 2021
Intervertebral disks are found between the vertebrae in the spine from the second cervical vertebra to the sacrum. Intervertebral disks permit various movements of the vertebral column to keep it flexible and to absorb vertical shock.
