Magnetic Resonance Myelography in Evaluation of Degenerative Disc Disease of Lumbar Spine in Comparision with Conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Lumbar Spine
Abstract:Back pain can result from a number of causes including degenerative and congenital spinal stenosis, infection, trauma, neoplasm and inflammatory arthritic processes. Acquired spinal stenosis due to degenerative joint and disc disease accounts for vast majority of cases. In many centers the use of myelography is steadily declining.
