Abstract :

 Background: Lumber Disc degeneration is the most common cause for lower back ache. It affects middle aged population commonly. Early detection of disc degeneration helps to prevent progression of the disease. MRI is an essential tool in the detection of degenerative diseases. The present study aims to evaluate the role of MRI in the detection of degenerative disc diseases.
