To investigate the lumbar intervertebral discs (IVDs) by MRI in the morning and evening after a diurnal load cycle. Changes in MR characteristics (T2-weighted imaging, T2- and apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC] -mapping) during the course of the day were visualized and analyzed visually and quantitatively. The length of the lumbar spine was measured in between the lower anterior edge of Th12 and the upper anterior edge of S1. T2 changes and diffusion characteristics of the vertebral disc tissue were investigated with a higher spatial resolution than in former studies.
