The study aimed to determine the prevalence of abnormal findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbar spine in asymptomatic individuals. MRI scans were performed on 200 asymptomatic people (130 females and 70 males) aged 20-60 years. The findings were classified as normal, bulge, protrusion, or extrusion. Results showed that 32% of the subjects had normal discs at all levels, while 68% had abnormalities. Of these, 48% had a bulge at least at one level, 23% had a protrusion, and 2% had an extrusion. Forty percent had abnormalities at more than one level. The prevalence of bulges and protrusions increased with age. The study concluded that many people without back pain have disk bulges or protrusions but not extrusions. Clinical correlation is essential to determine the importance of these abnormalities. The findings highlight the need for careful evaluation of MRI results in patients with low back pain, as incidental findings may not be related to symptoms. The study emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between incidental findings and those that may contribute to symptoms.The study aimed to determine the prevalence of abnormal findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbar spine in asymptomatic individuals.
