Abstract
The spine is a complex structure that comprises multiple joints and soft tissue elements that in concert allow weight bearing and function. There are numerous clinical indications for imaging in the spine; 'back' pain and neurological symptoms are the most common presenting complaints with a wide variety of disorders that could contribute to symptoms. This article will outline important spinal pathologies and illustrate how imaging plays a pivotal role in their assessment and management.
