To investigate the clinical value of MRI modified water-lipid separation technique (mDIXON-Quant) in terms T2* values and fat fraction (FF) for evaluating degree cervical intervertebral disc degeneration. A total 118 patients who underwent routine vertebra mDIXON-Quant examination Fuyang People's Hospital from March 2019 to January 2024 were collected. The C2/3 C6/7 discs FF upper lower vertebral bodies measured. Cervical degeneration was graded according Pfirrmann criteria. different compared with grades, correlation between values, grades analyzed by Spearman correlation. I, II, III, IV, V all showed a decreasing trend ( P＜0.05). order V, I F=93.28, P＜0.05), F=112.037, analysis that negatively correlated vertebrae positively can be used quantify plays an important role accurate diagnosis evaluation treatment effects.
