N2 - Degeneration of the spine is a common reason for pain in the musculoskeletal system. Radiography is an important tool for diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Cost efficacy and economy of time are advantages in using conventional x-rays. Although narrowing of intervertebral disc spaces, irregular ossification of the vertebral end-plate as well as osteophytes, facet joint osteoarthritis and spondylolisthesis can be observed, early changes in the discs or the subdiscal bone can not be detected by x-rays. Moreover, 3-dimensional imaging is not possible. Computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are reliable for identifying disorders of the spine and soft-tissue. Differentiation between inflammation, trauma and tumor is possible. There is still a problem with the relationship between the information obtained by x-rays or MRI and clinical symptoms. Therefore, interpretation of radiological examinations assumes a knowledge of clinical symptoms and the different kinds of diseases which are possible.
