The main objective of conducting this type of study is that to evaluate the clinical application of MR Imaging and their techniques (Fat Saturation, Turbo Spin Echo etc.) with relation of lumbar degenerative disc disease. Normal Radiography (X-rays) of lumbar spine does not useful to find out PIVD, Annular tear, Nerve compression, disc herniation, protrusion, extrusion and lumbar degenerative changes. Study Design: - Retrospective and observational study. Methods: A Total 80 cases of suspected Low Back Pain over a period of 3 months were included in this study. Among these 45 were males and 35 females.. All these clinically suspected patients of LBP were imaged by MRI Philips Achieva Nova 1.5T for MR imaging. Results: Eighty (80) participants took part in the study, out of which 45 (76.85%) were males and 35 (23.145 %) were females. Males were most affected population in this study with lumber lordiosis. L5-S1 disc was the most commonly involved. Annular tear, ligamentum flavum hypertrophy, disc herniation, protrusion, extrusion was common at L4-L5 level. Disc buldge was common L5-S1, L3-L4 level.
