Abstract
|
|
|
|
Compared with other imaging methods (plain radiographs, CT, US etc), MR images acquired in multiple planes have superior diagnostic potential for the lumbar spinal lesions, because of the generally greater spatial and contrast resolution characteristics for many tissues consisting of nonosseous and osseous components. For these reasons, MR imaging recently has been considered as an essential diagnostic modality for patients with low back pain. However, it is somewhat inferior to CT inevaluating mineralized components. This article focuses on MR techniques, anatomy, and the imaging findings of the representative lesions causing back pain.
