[Abstract] Objective: To assess the diagnostic value of MRI STIR sequence in lumbosacral superficial fasciitis.Materials and Methods: Analysis of 100 cases of MRI pictures of patients with low back pain or leg pain was taken. Including 43 males and 57 females, with a mean age of 56(21-87 years). The MRI pictures included T1WI, T2WI and STIR sequence scanning.Results: Strip high signals with long T1, long T2 abnormal signal behind lumbar vertebra were showed in 31 cases. The STIR sequence was more obvious, more intuitive to display lumbosacral superficial fasciitis, while the abnormal fascia signals in T1WI and T2WI sequences were often covered.Conclusion: The fascia superficialis edema is at a high rate in the patients with lumbosacral pain. The MRI STIR sequence can display the lumbosacral subcutaneous fibrositis sensitively and clearly, according to clinical manifestations, imaging findings, treatment and follow-up confirmed. |
