Predictive signs of discogenic lumbar pain on magnetic resonance imaging with discography correlation.

摘要: Study design The correlation between discogenic lumbar pain and disc morphology was investigated by using magnetic resonance imaging discography. Objectives To assess the various pathologic parameters seen on in patients with to correlate them observations Summary of background data Although numerous previous studies subject have been performed, correlations findings reproduction provoked discography not explained fully. Methods One hundred one discs 39 were studied provocation When under concordant, analyzed three statistical determine associated findings. Results Radial tears commonly are demonstrated concordant presence these is a reliable predictor painful high-intensity zone T2-weighted images relatively pain, values lower than those studies. Massive degeneration severe height loss rare this population. These good predictors injection. Conclusions intervertebral posterior combined anular likely produce validity signs for predicting limited.
