Lumbar pain is a common medical problem of our civilisation. It means a great economic burdenbecause of both direct therapeutic costs and patient´s inaptibility and invalidity. Withinradiology, neuroimaging stands under great pressure. Every pain in the back does not neces-sarily need neuroimaging. Every physician should be aware of the information he or she mayobtain from the particular neuroradiological investigation. Magnetic resonance imaging is amethod of choice for demonstration of degenerative disease of the spine and a dominant methodin failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS).
Key words: magnetic resonance imaging - degenerative disease - lumbar spine - intervertebraldisc herniation - postoperative changes - failed back surgery syndrome.
