Abstract

Pathology, classification and imaging the degenerative diseases of the spine are discussed. The etiology of pain and myelopathy at degenerative disease is cascade process. Imaging features and clinical correlates in pain and syndromes are presented. The role of imaging is to provide accurate morphologic information, root entrapment at first. MRI is the preferred examination in the assessment of disc herniation, although it has some limitations. Decision making should be based on imaging and clinical manifestations.
