Abstract

Introduction: A number of diagnostic techniques, including computed tomography, ultrasonography, bone scans, and traditional radiography, are used to assess low back pain (LBP). Different and better information on the body's structures can be obtained by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An attempt was made to determine the structural anomalies at the lumbosacral area using MRI.

Objectives: To assess usefulness of MRI images as a  predictor  in early detection of various pathologies leading to LBP in the adult age group.
