Aim: The aim of this study was to establish the effective role of CT in the diagnosis of low back pain, and whether CT features correlate with clinical signs and symptoms.
Methods: Two thousand and twelve consecutive patients, of which 866 males and 1,146 females, aged 22 to 91 years, affected by generic painful back, have been studied in the period between January 2000 and October 2002. Volumetric CT of the lumbo-sacral column was performed on all the patients, employing a Philips Tomoscan SR 7000 (Eindhoven, The Netherlands).
