HB Albert, P Kjaer, TS Jensen, JS Sorensen… - Medical hypotheses, 2008 - Elsevier
In patients with low back pain (LBP) it is only possible to diagnose a small proportion,(
approximately 20%), on a patho-anatomical basis. Therefore, the identification of relevant
LBP subgroups, preferably on a patho-anatomical basis, is strongly needed. Signal changes
on MRI in the vertebral body marrow adjacent to the end plates also known as Modic
changes (MC) are common in patients with LBP (18–58%) and is strongly associated with
LBP. In asymptomatic persons the prevalence is 12–13%. MC are divided into three different …
