...Mild osteoporosis has been shown to inversely correlate with IVD degeneration (Margulies et al. 1996; Harada et al. 1998; Mariconda et al. 2004); however, spines with severe osteoporosis also commonly exhibit severe IVD degeneration (Hansson & Roos, 1981; Fazzalari et al....

...[18] studied whether QUS, a radiation-free, easy-to-operate, inexpensive and rapid technique, might prove useful in predicting the extent of degenerative changes in the lumbar spine, showing that stiffness index was positively associated with lumbar disc degeneration in men, but not in women....

...[18] found a significant positive correlation between ultrasonographic parameters at the calcaneal bone and scores on a degenerative scale that primarily reflect intervertebral disc degeneration only in men, suggesting that associations may differ between sexes....

...The specificity of myelography (88% and 91%) was slightly higher than that of CT and MRI (75%, 88% and 90%) in the two studies that reported the specificity of these tests [17, 47]....

...Of the 9 studies that investigated myelography as well as CT, MRI, or 3DMRM, 5 studies showed a higher sensitivity for MRI, 3D-MRM, or CT than for myelography [14, 17, 25, 27, 47], and 4 studies showed a similar sensitivity for myelography as for CT or MRI [14, 17, 18, 30]....
