Background The relation between abnormalities in the lumbar spine and low back pain is
controversial. We examined the prevalence of abnormal findings on magnetic resonance …

PURPOSE: To identify the magnetic resonance (MR) abnormalities of the lumbar spine that
have a low prevalence in asymptomatic patients and thus determine the findings that are …

Study Design. Cross-sectional cohort study of a general population. Objective. To
investigate “abnormal” lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and their …

Background: In 1989, a group of sixty-seven asymptomatic individuals with no history of
back pain underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine. Twenty-one subjects …

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the general principles of lumbar
