Low back pain (LBP) is among the most prevailing health conditions with the intervertebral disc (IVD) playing a key role.However, the structural model of the 1VD and the annulus fibrosus (AF) in particular, is still incomplete.In this work we explore the 3D architecture of the AF via Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) followed by fiber tracking in order to provide qualitative as well as quantitative information regarding its structure.
