Change in three-dimensional (3D)-disc height index (DHI) of five anatomical zones. The percentage of the 3D-disc heights (DHs) of all five zones compared to those of L5–L6 discs was calculated as 3D-DHI: (3D-DH of each disc) / (3D-DH of L5–L6) × 100 (%). The 3D-DHI was evaluated in all the discs injected with contrast agent (CA) or monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) after 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-injection. All five zones were divided into four groups depending on the degree of 3D-DHI as follows: 3D-DHI<70%, 70%3D-DHI<80%, 80%3D-DHI<90%, 90%3D-DHI
