The value of SPECT scans in identifying back pain likely to benefit from facet joint injection.
- Abstract:
-
Lumbar facet disease is sometimes implicated in low back pain. Identification is difficult and this may account for a variable response. Single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) is a scanning technique which enables localization of facet joint pathology. We determined whether recognition of facet disease by this method improved the response to corticosteroid injection treatment.
