Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used in the management of low back pain (LBP). This review provides an overview of the clinical relevance of degenerative MRI findings in the lumbar spine. The association between degenerative MRI findings and LBP is relatively consistent at population level, but very little research exists on the prognostic value of MRI findings and based on the current evidence, MRI cannot be used to guide treatment. Lumbar spine MRI is only recommended for patients with progressive neurological deficits, suspicion of specific pathology or in absence of progress of conservative treatment.
