Abstract
Introduction: Several diagnostic modalities are being used for evaluation of low back pain (LBP) such as conventional radiography, computed tomography scan, bone scan, and ultrasonography. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can give different and improved information about structures in the body. Through MRI, an attempt was made to identify the structural abnormalities at the lumbosacral region.
Objectives: To demonstrate the usefulness of MRI in early detection of various pathologies leading to LBP in the adult age group.
