What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to diagnose different causes of low back pain in middle-aged women. The study focuses on females aged 40 to 60 years who experience low back pain and are referred to Sohag University Hospital for evaluation. The goal is to better understand how MRI can help identify the reasons for their pain. Participants will undergo MRI imaging of the lumbosacral spine using advanced machines such as the Philips Achieva 1.5T or Siemens Magnetom Altea 1.5T devices. Various imaging sequences will be used, including Axial T2-weighted, Sagittal T1-weighted, T2-weighted, STIR sequences, and post-gadolinium contrast if needed. This detailed imaging will help capture clear pictures of the spine area. During the study, participants will be assessed through MRI scans to collect diagnostic information about their low back pain. The main outcome measured is the effectiveness of MRI in diagnosing causes of pain in women who are six months postmenopausal. The study ensures participant safety by excluding individuals with conditions that prevent MRI use and those who cannot cooperate with the procedures. The study duration, follow-up, or additional tests are not specified.
