Discogenic Low Back Pain

ABSTRACT Objective: Intradiscal vacuum phenomenon (IVP) is a common finding in the study of degenerative disc disease. Discogenic low back pain can be manifested in different ways, including irradiation to the lower limbs. This study aims to acknowledge the complementary studies used to diagnose IVP, determine their sensitivity, and assess the correlation between clinical and imaging findings. Methods: This is a descriptive, observational and prospective study involving clinical and imaging evaluation of 100 patients with IVP, using dynamic and plain radiographs, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The factors of analysis include sex, age, reason for consultation, visual analogue scale, irradiation and topography of the pain, the existence of sciatica and claudication, smoking status, and body mass index. Results: The overall average age of the patients was 64.6 years, who particularly evidence degenerative pathology. IVP was observed in 99 CT, 85 dynamic radiographs, 80 plain radiographs and 65 nuclear magnetic resonance images (MRI). Conclusion: The most useful studies for diagnosing the vacuum disc phenomenon are plain and dynamic radiographs, tomography, and magnetic resonance. The CT is the most sensitive imaging study for IVP detection, followed by dynamic radiographs obtained during extension. A correlation was observed between older age, overweight, and IVP. Level of evidence IV; Case-series.

Much progress in nuclear magnetic resonance microscope has been made in the last few years as a result of improved instrumentation and techniques being made available through basic research in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies for medicine. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was first observed in the hydrogen nucleus in water by Bloch, Purcell and Pound over 40 years ago. Today, in medicine, virtually all commercial MRI scans are made of water bound in tissue. This is also true for NMR microscopy, which has focussed mainly on biological applications. The reason water is the favored molecule for NMR is because water is,the most abundant molecule in biology. It is also the most NMR sensitive having the largest nuclear magnetic moment and having reasonable room temperature relaxation times (from 10 ms to 3 sec). The contrast seen in magnetic resonance images is due mostly to distribution of water relaxation times in sample which are extremely sensitive to the local environment.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become established as an important imaging modality for the clinical management of disease. This is primarily due to the great tissue contrast inherent in magnetic resonance images of normal and diseased organs. Due to the wide availability of high field magnets and the ability to generate large and rapidly switched magnetic field gradients there is growing interest in applying high resolution MRI to obtain microscopic information. This symposium on MRI microscopy highlights new developments that are leading to increased resolution. The application of high resolution MRI to significant problems in developmental biology and cancer biology will illustrate the potential of these techniques.In combination with a growing interest in obtaining high resolution MRI there is also a growing interest in obtaining functional information from MRI. The great success of MRI in clinical applications is due to the inherent contrast obtained from different tissues leading to anatomical information.
