Purpose: to evaluate diagnostic value and image quality of T2-weighted Three-dimensional isotropic turbo spin-echo (SPACE) in comparison with T2-weighted two-dimensional turbo spin-echo (TSE) sequences for comprehensive evaluation of lumbar spine pathologies.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-five participants with lumbar discopathy were examined on a 1.5-T MRI system with both 2D TSE and 3D SPACE sequences.
