Imaging in degenerative disease of the lumbar spine
Abstract
Degenerative disease involves all spinal components. Conventional radiology and digital radiology are the procedures of first choice in order to establish the diagnosis. CT and MRI should be considered of second choice, based on precise indications. The physiologic aspects of the spine during aging are differentiated from the degenerative alterations and relative complications specific of arthrosis with modern available imaging procedures.
