Open AccessMeasurement of vertebral endplate bone marrow lesion (Modic change) composition with water–fat MRI and relationship to patient-reported outcome measures
Vertebral endplate bone marrow lesions (“Modic changes”, MC) are associated with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Bone marrow composition in MC is poorly understood. The goals of this study were to: (1) measure b...

Paraspinal muscle imaging measurements for common spinal disorders: review and consensus-based recommendations from the ISSLS degenerative spinal phenotypes group
Paraspinal muscle imaging is of growing interest related to improved phenoty**, prognosis, and treatment of common spinal disorders. We reviewed issues related to paraspinal muscle imaging measurement that c...

Open AccessCompensatory biomechanics and spinal loading during dynamic maneuvers in patients with chronic low back pain
This study explores the biomechanics underlying the sit-to-stand (STS) functional maneuver in chronic LBP patients to understand how different spinal disorders and levels of pain severity relate to unique comp...

Open AccessUsing hierarchical unsupervised learning to integrate and reduce multi-level and multi-paraspinal muscle MRI data in relation to low back pain
The paraspinal muscles (PSM) are a key feature potentially related to low back pain (LBP), and their structure and composition can be quantified using MRI. Most commonly, quantifying PSM measures across indivi...

Open AccessSpatial distribution of fat infiltration within the paraspinal muscles: implications for chronic low back pain
Fat infiltration (FI) of the paraspinal muscles (PSMs) measured using MRI is an aspect of muscle quality and is considered to be worse in chronic low back pain (cLBP) patients. However, there is not a clear as...

Open AccessMulti-domain biopsychosocial postoperative recovery trajectories associate with patient outcomes following lumbar fusion
The purpose of this study is to describe and assess the impact of multi-domain biopsychosocial (BPS) recovery on outcomes following lumbar spine fusion. We hypothesized that discrete patterns of BPS recovery (...
