Enhancing back pain and sciatica diagnosis: Coronal short tau inversion recovery’s role in routine lumbar magnetic resonance imaging protocols

Figure 4 Sagittal and coronal magnetic resonance imaging findings in a 38-year-old male with low back pain: Normal lumbar spine and sacroiliitis. A: Sagittal weighted imaging of a 38-year-old male with low back pain and right sciatica shows lumbar spine straightening without significant disc pathology; B: Coronal short tau inversion recovery reveals bone marrow edema, more on the right, indicating sacroiliitis.
