• Biomechanics of the human intervertebral disc: A review of testing techniques and results. (2017, background): “Published criteria allow IVD degeneration to be graded on the basis of MRI (Johannessen et al., 2006; Pfirrmann et al., 2001; Schneiderman et al., 1987), radiographic appearance (Gordon et al., 1991), or simply from visual appearance of IVDs sectioned in the sagittal or transverse plane (Galante, 19”
• What is Intervertebral Disc Degeneration, and What Causes It? (2006, background): “[40,110,111] The first point on these scales refers to young and intact discs, while the final point corresponds to end-stage degeneration, typified by a collapse of disc height (Figure 6D).”
