Correlation between the number of calcified discs visible on radiographs and MRI grade 4 discs. MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; IVD = intervertebral disc; MRI grade 4 = severely degenerated IVD. Scatter plot visualizing the correlation between the number of calcified discs visible on radiographs (CDVR) and the number of IVDs with MRI grade 4 degeneration. A strong association emerged between the number of CDVR and the number of MRI grade 4 discs based on Poisson regression analysis (estimate 1.13, 95% CI 1.08–1.19, P < 0.0001)
