ABSTRACT

Magnetic resonance of the lumbar spine is one of the studies most often requested in our field due to the high prevalence of lumbago (as cause for consultation at medical care centers) and the outstanding anatomical detail it offers.
Objective: describe the anatomy of the lumbar spine and establish a step-by-step guide on what should be evaluated when making a report on magnetic resonance.
Material and methods: exhaustive bibliographic review, in addition to analysis of a selection of representative magnetic resonance studies of the lumbar spine performed with a 1.5 T resonator.
Conclusion: magnetic resonance is the imaging method of choice for studies of the spine; therefore, imaging specialists need to be familiar with spinal anatomy and able to make a suitable radiological report following a sequential order of its component structures.
