[[Magnetic resonance imaging]] (MRI) is used to evaluate the lumbar region for bone degeneration or injury or disease in tissues and nerves, muscles, ligaments, and blood vessels. MRI scanning equipment creates a magnetic field around the body strong enough to temporarily realign water molecules in the tissues. Radio waves are then passed through the body to detect the “relaxation” of the molecules back to a random alignment and trigger a resonance signal at different angles within the body. A computer processes this resonance into either a three-dimensional picture or a two-dimensional “slice” of the tissue being scanned, and differentiates between bone, soft tissues and fluid-filled spaces by their water content and structural properties. This noninvasive procedure is often used to identify a condition requiring prompt surgical treatment. New attention has been focused on ''non-discogenic back pain'', where patients have normal or near-normal MRI and CT scans.  One of the newer investigations looks into the role of the [[dorsal ramus]] in patient's pain that have normal radiographic evidence.  See [[Posterior Rami Syndrome]].

Overview

MRI is be helpful in the diagnosis of the underlying cause of back pain. Findings on MRI suggestive of diagnostic include soft tissue lesions, nerve root compression, malignancy, and/or inflammatory lesions.


MRI

There are no MRI findings associated with [disease name].

OR

[Location] MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on MRI suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include:

  • [Finding 1]
  • [Finding 2]
  • [Finding 3]

OR

There are no MRI findings associated with [disease name]. However, a MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include:

  • [Complication 1]
  • [Complication 2]
  • [Complication 3]
