Summary: | Imaging evaluation of the spine can be challenging. Awareness of the limitations of the different imaging modalities allows one to take a considered approach to their interpretation. The modalities of radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are often complementary to each other in the information they provide. There are many pitfalls to be avoided. Familiarity with normal radiological anatomy, an awareness of technical factors which can lead to confusion in interpretation, and knowledge of normal ossification and normal variants will minimize the risk of over- or, indeed more seriously, underreporting radiological findings. |
