Coils may influence quantitative measurements of
synthetic lumbar spine MRI; therefore, usage of the same coil should be adopted
when one study is carried out.

plots for T1, T2, and PD values of different
tissues compared between different coils. VIS means
considering the vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs together. * indicates
p <0.05; ** indicates p <0.01; *** indicates p <0.001.
