Abstract
The high frequency and the low clinical correlation of the degenerative lumbar spine abnormalities depicted on imaging complicate the reading of radiological examinations. The dynamic characteristics and the weight-bearing of the spine provide important information but remain reserved to radiography. In case of spinal stenosis, computed tomography is the gold standard to differentiate the “soft” and the osseous compressive components. These last years, MRI was helpful in understanding the degenerative disk phenomena and the associated bone abnormalities. MRI is also the unique imaging technique to evaluate fluids (CSF, zygapophyseal effusions and cysts, interspinous bursae). These modern imaging techniques have considerably reduced the indications for discography and myelography. Henceforth MRI is the gold standard imaging technique for the postoperative lumbar spine.
