Symptom-imaging correlation in lumbar spine pain.
Skeletal Radiology 2023 March 3
Lumbar spine MRI is associated with a high prevalence of morphological abnormalities in both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals. A difficult challenge, therefore, is distinguishing the relevant findings causing symptoms from incidental findings. The accurate diagnosis of pain generator is important because misdiagnosis can negatively impact patient management and outcome. Spine physicians use clinical symptoms and signs to interpret lumbar spine MRI and make treatment decisions. Symptom-MRI correlation enables the targeted inspection of images for pain generator. Radiologists can also use clinical information to improve diagnostic confidence and the value of dictated reports. Because high-quality clinical information may be difficult to obtain, radiologists often generate lists of lumbar spine abnormalities that are otherwise difficult to rank as pain generators. Based on the literature review, this article attempts to distinguish the MRI abnormalities that may represent incidental findings from the abnormalities that are more commonly associated with lumbar spine-related symptoms.
