Degenerative changes of the lumbar spine, the most common site for age-related spinal wear. MRI identifies disc degeneration, osteophytes and any nerve root involvement.
Our comprehensive check-up screens for degeneration of lumbar vertebrae (lumbar spondylosis) and hundreds of other conditions.
Intramuscular fat content in the right multifidus muscle, a deep back muscle important for spinal stability. Higher IMF values indicate fatty infiltration which may correlate with reduced muscle function and back pain.
Erector spinae IMF (right)Intramuscular fat percentage in the right erector spinae, a group of muscles that straighten and rotate the back. Increased IMF is associated with muscle quality deterioration and potential functional decline.
Multifidus IMF (left)Intramuscular fat content in the left multifidus muscle, a deep back muscle important for spinal stability. Higher IMF values indicate fatty infiltration which may correlate with reduced muscle function and back pain.
