All participants underwent a Lumbar Spine MRI scan on a single high field strength system (3.0 Tesla Siemens Verio) with a multichannel phased array spine surface coil. A standardized protocol was used for all participants, which included sagittal fast spin-echo T1 (TR 650 ms, TE 6.3 ms) and T2 (TR 4500 ms, TE 101 ms), sagittal STIR (TR 3800 ms, TE 35 ms, IR 215 ms) and axial T2 (TR 5000 ms, TE 116 ms) scans. All sequences were 4 mm thick with a 1 mm inter-slice space. Sagittal sequences used a 320 mm FOV and axial 200 mm (Hancock et al. 2015).
