Purpose; To find out the best imaging parameters for the diagnosis of disc in MRI imaging. Materials and methods; The diagnostic quality of the disc among the Tl, PD and T2 images of same patients02 joints, 223 images) was compared by visual(I-IV grades) and gray level measurement (pre- and infra-discal area) method. Results; PD images showed best results with 43.7％ of the images belonging to grade III (good) and with statistically significant higher difference of the gray levels at pre- and infra-discal areas. But there were no grade N (excellent) images. Conclusions; PD images are best method among Tl. PD and T2 images in diagnosing the disc but since there were no excellent images further imaging parameters should be studied for better images.
