Abstract

ABSTRACT


Background: Low back pain is a common symptom and degenerative change of the lumbar spine are the leading cause of low back pain, with or without nerve root involvement. In many people, symptoms worsen when standing or walking. Standing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the lumbar spine can help evaluate the changes of lumbar spine in weight-bearing position, thereby avoiding missing injuries.


Objective: The aim of this study was to compare some image features between supine and standing MRI of the lumbar spine.


Method: Retrospective and cross-sectional study of 30 patients presented low back pain and obtained MRI of the lumbar spine in supine and standing position at open MRI 0.25T G-scan.


Result: In comparison with the supine position, the standing position resulted in decreased disc height, increased foraminal and spinal canal stenosis, and increased degree of herniation, as well as decreased anteroposterior diameter at the level of the intervertebral disc space with statistical significant changes. However, there was no significant change in spondylolisthesis.


Conclusion: Some characteristics have significant changes between the standing and supine position MRI of the lumbar spine.


Keyword: low back pain, low magnetic field open MRI, standing MRI of the lumbar spine.
