Pars defect detection with 3 T GE ZeroTE bone MRI in children, adolescents and young adults with low back pain: a pilot study of inter-rater reproducibility and CT-linked feasibility.
3 T zero echo time MRI showed high inter-rater reproducibility for pars-defect detection and may serve as a reproducible, radiation-sparing adjunct to lumbar MRI rather than a replacement for CT, and require confirmation in larger studies.
