[Abstract] Objective: To analyze MR signal changes of lumbar intervertebral disc and clinical significance of the asymptomatic college students.Materials and Methods: Lumbar spine of 62 asymptomatic college volunteers aged between 18 to 27 years were examnated with MRI, MR images were analyzed by two experienced image doctors, and to record the imaging of lumbar intervertebral discs abnormalities that including: degeneration, protrusiont, herniation, free and the ralation of discs and nerve roots.Results: Lumbar intervertebral disc of 39 (62.9%) in asymptomatic college volunteers were normal, and 23 (37.1%) cases were abnormal. Degeneration of 18 cases, (21 Intervertebral discs),including degeneration with protrusiont of 2 cases (2 Intervertebral discs), degeneration with herniation of 7 cases (7 Intervertebral discs), protrusiont of 7 cases (8Intervertebral discs), herniation of 8 cases (8 Intervertebral discs), no disk sequestrations and nerve not compression was diagnosed in 62 volunteers.Conclusions: The degeneration, herniation and protrusiont of lumbar intervertebral discs are often diagnosed by MRI in asymptomatic college students, so that the doctor should pay attention to avoiding misdiagnosis in clinical inspection, diagnosis and treatment.
