Human intervertebral discs were investigated by 1 H NMR in vitro . The measured parameters of samples differently located in discs give the “maps” of discs. The spin‐lattice relaxation‐time maps show similar structure to dry matter and bound water maps, which might mean the future possibility to detect certain disc processes via accurate T 1 images. © 1986 Academic Press, Inc.
