Abstract:
Analytic descriptive study MRI examination of lumber inter vertebral disc spine was done for 50Patients in three hospitals in Khartoum state (royal care, alribat, almoalem)
To evaluate the efficiency of MRI image for detections of inter vertebral disc prolapse at lumber spine.
Study content samples29 male and 21 female almost all those complaining of lower back pain, this study carried out which equipped by high quality machine 1.5 Tesla.
The result of studyfound is Disc prolapse affect the lumber spine in people at the age of 20-80 years old.
And found the axial and sagittal protocol is the best to demonstrate disc prolapse diseases and coronal protocol seldom used in this disease because is better in case of abnormal curve in spine.
Disc prolapse can be detected with MRI by 99%.MRI is procedure to choice in evaluation of inter vertebral disc prolapse. but it is not the only factor to determine the inter vertebral disc prolapse etiology , for that proper history and clinical examination are very necessary to determine the type of image needed , and also allow the technologist to focus the effort of examination at the proper disc prolapse level.
