- All those patients with severe low back pain with radiculopathy and claudication will show positive nerve root sedimentation sign on axial sections of T2W MRI of lumbar spine in correlation with decreased dural sac cross section area.
研究概览
简要总结
This study is done to validate the positive correlation between nerve root sedimentation sign and dural sac cross section area on MRI of lumbar spine in all those patients of more than 18 years of age with low back pain and radiculopathy and claudication. This study is done to rectify the knowledge gap by analysing the gray area bwtween positive sediment sign in patients of severe lumbar canal stenosis and negative sediment sign in those patients having the symptoms.
