AbstractBackground: Determining the prevalence of degenerative changes by MRI in patients with low back pain (LBP) and lumbar canal stenosis is valuable for better understanding of important LSS issue. Objective: This study was designed to determine the prevalence of disc degeneration changes through MRI images obtained from patients with low back pain and lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods: This was a cross sectional study in which 53 patients (selected through examining 200 MRI images from patients seeking medical care because of low back pain (LBP) and referred to our MRI imaging center) with MRI findings compatible with lumbar canal stenosis (LSS), were investigated between June 2003 to September 2004. Intervertebral disc conditions such as normal status, bulging, and herniation were evaluated in patient’s MRI images. Findings: In 53 patients with lumbar canal stenosis, 34% were women and 66% men (P0.03).en
