LDH model rat 7T MRI T2 sagittal and axial images. The signal of the L5/6 intervertebral disc in the degenerative group decreased, while the nucleus pulposus tissue in the bulging group protruded backwards without entering the spinal canal. The nucleus pulposus tissue of the central herniation group and the paramedian herniation group protruded into the spinal canal and intervertebral foramen, respectively. White arrows indicate degenerated or herniated L5/6 discs
