[Abstract] Objective: Discuss the correlation between lumbar intervertebral disc and age and anatomic site for healthy people with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).Materials and Methods: Gather 30 healthy adult volunteers with their age range from 21 to 45, which are divided into 5 groups, 21—25, 26—30, 31—35, 36-40 and 41-45. Carry out DTI sequence scanning on them and determine FA and ADC value of each group with MRI software ADW 4.4. Discuss the correlation between above value and age change and different segments of intervertebral disc.Results: With the growth of age, ADC value of L1-S1 declines gradually (Ⅰ : r=-0.470, P<0.01, Ⅱ: r=-0.513, P<0.01, Ⅲ: r=-0.593, P<0.01, Ⅳ: r=-0.697, P<0.01, Ⅴ: r=-0.601, P<0.01), and FA value is not related to age. With the moving down of anatomic segment, at different sites, L1-4 declines slightly and L4—S1 rises obviously, as a whole, it presents a rising trend (F=8.726, P<0.05).Conclusions: ADC value declines with the growth of age. FA value presents a rising trend with the moving down of position and lower intervertebral disc rises obviously. The DTI study indicates that the degenerative change of lumbar intervertebral disc has the correlation with both age and anatomic site.
