Lumbar Spine Radiology

Lumbar spine radiology involves using imaging techniques, such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, to examine the lower back region of the spine. The lumbar spine consists of five vertebrae, which support the body and enable movement. Radiologists analyze these images to diagnose conditions like fractures, herniated discs, or degenerative diseases. By identifying abnormalities, they help guide treatment plans for issues such as chronic pain, nerve compression, or injury. This imaging is crucial for understanding spinal health and ensuring effective care for lower back problems.
