new diagnostic and therapeutic: diagnose


Thursday, January 31 at the Convention Center Abano Terme (PD) has held a refresher course with a catchy theme: Back pain: new diagnostic and therapeutic .
I could certainly lose this event which provided some important contributions presented by prominent Italian specialists. The

Prof. Ugo Salvolini , Director of the Institute of Radiology, University Politecnica delle Marche, gave a lecture on Radiological Anatomy of framing the problem from the outset that the fundamental theme of the course and put the resulting actions of Dr . Roberto Izzo and Mario Dr. Muto (both operating at the Neuroradiology Cardarelli of Naples) were amplified.
The remarkable complexity of spinal biomechanics, combined with the intricacies of the spinal nerves and blood supply leading to a still difficult to understand and correlation of low back pain to diagnostic imaging.
Indeed for many studies, even recent ones, there seems to be a high degree of correlation between the anomalies that are found in common radiological examinations (CXR, CT and MRI) and the onset of low back pain (low-back pain) Essendon similar prevalence between patients with and without back pain, as I wrote in another post. As
radiographic abnormalities are also found in people without back pain at a rate of 40-50%, all the speakers repeatedly emphasized the importance of the clinical investigation (the search for signs and symptoms that may be related to certain diseases).

One study investigated 67 subjects asymptomatic for back pain, sciatica or intermittent claudication Neurogenic by performing MRI and the results were evaluated by a blinded group of neuroradiologists. In about one third of the subjects were detected abnormalities. In reference to the age of the subjects in the group with less than 60 years had 20 percent of the nucleus pulposus un'enucleazione 1 percent a narrow spinal canal.

, 57 percent of patients with more than 60 years showed abnormalities: in particular the 37 per cent had a herniated disc and spinal stenosis 21 percent. They were also found degeneration of the intervertebral disc or bulging disc in 35 percent of younger subjects and even in all patients older (Boden 1990). In this study, the patient left the Rx

had a radiographic
much worse than the right
without a pain.

Another study published in The New England Journal of Medicine (Jensen 1994), carried out with similar criteria showed that only 36 percent of the 98 subjects who underwent MRI had radiologically back in order. These results show that the abnormality detected by sophisticated investigations such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, is the norm. So

All the speakers strongly and clearly explained that before taking any type of interventional decisions, abnormalities detected by any diagnostic method, even in symptomatic patients should be closely related to age, symptoms and signs, as he reiterated several times his address, Dr. Daniele Fabris , UOC Spine Surgery, Padova.
