Lumbar spine imaging. Normal variants, imaging pitfalls, and artifacts.

Abstract:

:Accurate recognition and reporting of spine abnormalities on MRI requires knowledge of normal anatomy and its variants. This article deals with common normal variants, points out pitfalls which may be sources of errors in interpretation and describes imaging artifacts which are essential to be recognized and not mistaken for true pathologies.
