“…These medical imaging technologies play an important supporting role in the clinical diagnosis and treatments, which have been recognized worldwide [8]. However, at the same time, in the face of a large number of medical images, medical personnel need to manually observe and analyze the image data; not only the workload is significantly increased but also the diagnosis results are related to the personal experiences of doctors [9]. Which are often subjective and are likely to affect the diagnostic accuracy of diseases [10].…”

ObjectiveBased on the theoretical basis of Gabor wavelet transformation, the application effects of feature extraction algorithm in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the role of feature extraction algorithm in the diagnosis of lumbar vertebra degenerative diseases were explored. Q, et al. (2020) The application of key feature extraction algorithm based on Gabor wavelet transformation in the diagnosis of lumbar intervertebral disc degenerative changes. PLoS ONE 15(2): e0227894. https://doi.org/10. ConclusionThe feature extraction algorithm based on Gabor wavelet transformation could easily and quickly realize the localization of the lumbar intervertebral disc, and the accuracy of the results was ensured. In addition, from the aspect of vertebral body tracking, the tracking effects based on the KLT algorithm were better and faster than those based on the maximum mutual information method.

“…These studies emphasized the importance of ED and endplate morphology. 10 The classification of ED of the lumbar spine was defined several authors, 12,15,18 but there was no method to measure ED of the cervical spine. We revised the ED classification for the lumbar spine to the cervical spine.…”

“…[3][4][5] However, other authors point out that DD does not necessarily antecedent of facet degeneration. [6][7][8] In addition, in the study of lumbar intervertebral DD, a hypothesis about endplate degeneration (ED) driven DD was also presented, [9][10][11] Furthermore, the multifactorial analyzes of DD, Modic changes (Mcs), facet degeneration, ED, and pain are also recently evaluated. 12,13 However, this approach is still limited in cervical spine degeneration studies.…”

Objective: The ''disc degeneration precedes facet joint osteoarthritis'' hypothesis and multidimensional analysis were actively discussed in lumbar spine. However, in cervical spine degeneration, the multifactorial analyzes of disc degeneration (DD), Modic changes (Mcs), facet degeneration, and endplate degeneration (ED) is still limited. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to analyze the prevalence and interrelationship of cervical DD parameters. Methods: We retrospectively recruited 62 patients aged between 60 and 70 years. The disc height, segmental angle, ossified posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), ED, facet joint degeneration (FD), uncovertebral joint degeneration (UD), DD, spinal stenosis (SS), Mc, and cord signal change (CS) were evaluated using a previously well-known grading system.

“…Therefore, the morphology of the endplate plays an important role in maintaining the above functions. In previous studies on the relationship between vertebral endplate morphology and lumbar disc degeneration, researchers found that the level of vertebral endplate attening was related to the severity of intervertebral disc degeneration [20]. Pappou et al analyzed the relationship between the morphology of the lumbar endplate and the degree of degeneration by MRI, and their research revealed that the shape of the endplate was related to disc degeneration and Modic changes [21].…”

Background: The cartilage endplate plays an important role in the stress distribution and nutrition metabolism of intervertebral disc. The healing morphology of the endplate after spinal fracture and its effect on the intervertebral disc degeneration are still unclear. Methods: 51 patients with single-level thoracolumbar fractures underwent posterior open reduction and pedicle screw fixation. Combined with the initial CT and MRI images, the endplate injury was defined as three types, which are unilateral endplate injury, bilateral endplate injury and no endplate injury. According to the location of the injury in the endplate, it was further divided into endplate central injury and endplate peripheral injury. The degree of post-traumatic disc lesions and disc degeneration during follow-up were classified based on the Sander classification and the Pfirrmann classification, respectively. According to the T1 image of MRI in the final follow-up, the healing morphology of endplates was classified into three types including the increased endplate curvature, the irregular healing and the traumatic Schmorl nodes. Results: Cartilage endplate fractures are closely related to the degree of degeneration of the intervertebral disc (P=0.003). Injuries in different parts of the endplate have no significant effect on the intervertebral disc degeneration (P=0.204). The healing morphology after endplate fracture significantly affected the degree of intervertebral disc degeneration (P=0.001). The comparison of groups showed that the effects of irregular healing and traumatic Schmorl nodes on disc degeneration were not statistically different, but were significantly different from those with increased curvature. Conclusions: Increased endplate curvature, irregular healing and traumatic Schmorl nodes are three common forms of healing. The irregular healing and the traumatic Schmorl nodes are closely related to intervertebral disc degeneration. The existence and severity of the endplate injury can provide valuable information for individualized clinical decision-making processes.

Association between Measures of Vertebral Endplate Morphology and Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Abstract: There is an association between vertebral endplate morphology and lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration. Vertebral endplates at the degenerated disc level become flat; the severity of this flattening is correlated with the degree of disc degeneration.
