To detect the MRI findings related to The low back pain and sciatica according to age group, authors used tree model analysis of ~O patient´s grading their low back pain and sciatica, with their lumbar MRI findings. And the results were as follows;.
1. In teens and twenties(n=22), the low back pain was related to high maximum, ,of spinal canal narrowing and large sum of disc degeneration, and the sciatica was related to the psoas spine ratio.
2. In thirties and forties(n=33), the sum of disc degeneration, the sum of foraminal narrowing, the maximum of disc degeneration affected the low back pain, and the sum of disc degeneration, disc herniation and maximum of canal narrowing were related to sciatica.
3. In fifties and sixties(n=23) the low back pain was related to large sum of foraminal narrowing and small psoas spine ratio, and thesciatica was largely affected by high maximum of foraminal narrowing and some by large sum of canal narrowing and large sum of disc degeneration.
