Case Description

Case Summary

Imaging techniques, starting with simple X-rays, play a crucial role in assessing degenerative spine disease. MRI, especially when conducted with the patient standing or sitting, provides valuable insights into the spine's condition under load. This allows for a more accurate evaluation of disc prolapses and ligament issues compared to lying down MRIs.
