Introduction

Treatment options for degenerative intervertebral disc (IVD) disease in humans and dogs are a hot scientific topic. Ways to evaluate the degree of degeneration and effect of regenerative therapy are warranted. The disc height index (DHI) and magnetic resonance signal intensity (MRSI) are often used for the latter(1).
Aim: To evaluate the effect of regenerative therapy (intradiscal injection of a non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)) using the DHI method and MRSI. […]

Every spring the European Veterinary Conference Voorjaarsdagen used to organize. Important goals of the Voorjaarsdagen Conference were to build friendships between veterinarians at a national and international level, to enhance the quality and availability of veterinary medicine and surgery, and to foster the exchange of scientific information among veterinarians.  The activities of the European Veterinary Conference have ceased with the last meeting in 2019.
