Summary

This study will check how well standard X-rays and MRIs can spot common spinal bone variations (transitional vertebrae) and correctly identify the disc that is causing pain. Researchers will look at scans from 250 adults with back and leg pain to see if routine imaging alone is accurate enough, or if doctors need extra whole-spine images. The goal is to reduce mistakes in spinal diagnosis.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors more accurately identify the correct spinal level causing pain, reducing misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly improve patient outcomes, and results may not apply to other populations or imaging methods.
