Figure 3

Lumbar disc MRI and lumbosacral nerve root DTI scan at 30 days post-surgery. (a) is the sagittal position of the patient’s MRI 30 days post-surgery, showing an obvious “grape skin” phenomenon. (b) is the patient’s MRI axial position 30 days post-surgery, showing the spinal canal is not compressed. (c) is the nerve root reconstructed by DTI 30 days post-surgery, partial recovery of the compressed nerve root microstructure was observed.
