Key Words Low back pain; Magnetic resonance imaging; Coronal short tau inversion recovery; Sacroiliitis; Diagnostic accuracy
Core Tip Incorporating a coronal short tau inversion recovery sequence into routine lumbar magnetic resonance imaging protocols significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy for patients with back pain and sciatica. This sequence improves the detection of spinal and extra-spinal pathologies - especially sacroiliitis and pelvic abnormalities - that may be missed on standard axial and sagittal T1 and T2 sequences. Our findings support the integration of coronal short tau inversion recovery as a cost-effective, practical addition that can meaningfully influence diagnosis and clinical management.
