The objectives of the study were: to illustrate the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging appearance of facet synovitis in the lumbar region using an MR fat-saturation technique; to determine how commonly facet synovitis is encountered when fat-saturation techniques are used; to classify the MR ...
Data from a randomized clinical trial with a 2-year follow-up was analyzed for adjacent level degeneration and index level facet arthropathy. The study included 116 patients with a history of low back pain and degenerative changes in 1 or 2 lower lumbar spine levels. Magnetic resonance imaging ...
