Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To establish specific Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) parameters within the intervertebral disc, spinal cord, and spinal nerve roots that can differentiate between healthy and degenerative cervical spine tissues, enabling early detection and improved diagnosis of cervical spine degeneration.Timepoint: 3years | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the relationship between metabolic disorders, including obesity, type II diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, & hypothyroidism & alterations in DKI-derived metrics, thereby identifying potential metabolic contributors to cervical spine degeneration.Timepoint: 3years | — |
