MRI evaluates the structures supporting the spinal cord, while EDX evaluates root functionality. The present study aimed to analyze the concordance of MRI and EDX findings in patients with clinically suspected radiculopathy. Additionally, we investigated the comparison between these two reference tests and various clinical variables and questionnaires. (2) Methods: We designed a prospective epidemiological study of consecutive cases with an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, and double-blind nature following the STROBE guidelines, encompassing 142 patients with clinical suspicion of lumbosacral radiculopathy. (3) Results: Of the sample, 58.5% tested positive for radiculopathy using EDX as the reference test, while 45.8% tested positive using MRI. The comparison between MRI and EDX in the diagnosis of radiculopathy in patients with clinical suspicion was not significant; the overall agreement was 40.8%. Only the years with symptoms were comparatively significant between the positive and negative radiculopathy groups as determined by EDX. (4) Conclusion: The comparison between lumbar radiculopathy diagnoses in patients with clinically suspected pathology using MRI and EDX as diagnostic modalities did not yield statistically significant findings. MRI and EDX are complementary tests assessing different aspects in patients with suspected radiculopathy; degeneration of the structures supporting the spinal cord does not necessarily imply root dysfunction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics14121258","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,14]],"date-time":"2024-06-14T08:02:26Z","timestamp":1718352146000},"page":"1258","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Comparison of Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Electrodiagnosis in the Evaluation of Clinical Suspicion of Lumbosacral Radiculopathy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-0252-5642","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Montaner-Cuello","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiatry and Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Zaragoza, Calle Domingo Miral S\/N, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"PhysiUZerapy: Health Sciences Research Group, University of Zaragoza, Calle Domingo Miral S\/N, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0328-2309","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Santos","family":"Caudevilla-Polo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiatry and Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Zaragoza, Calle Domingo Miral S\/N, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diego","family":"Rodr\u00edguez-Mena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PhysiUZerapy: Health Sciences Research Group, University of Zaragoza, Calle Domingo Miral S\/N, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Neurophysiology, University Clinical Hospital \u201cLozano Blesa\u201d, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8484-3811","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gianluca","family":"Ciuffreda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiatry and Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Zaragoza, Calle Domingo Miral S\/N, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7732-3914","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pilar","family":"Pardos-Aguilella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiatry and Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Zaragoza, Calle Domingo Miral S\/N, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"PhysiUZerapy: Health Sciences Research Group, University of Zaragoza, Calle Domingo Miral S\/N, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1292-3163","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabel","family":"Albarova-Corral","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiatry and Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Zaragoza, Calle Domingo Miral S\/N, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"PhysiUZerapy: Health Sciences Research Group, University of Zaragoza, Calle Domingo Miral S\/N, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5842-6010","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge","family":"P\u00e9rez-Rey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PhysiUZerapy: Health Sciences Research Group, University of Zaragoza, Calle Domingo Miral S\/N, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0026-9224","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena","family":"Bueno-Gracia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiatry and Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Zaragoza, Calle Domingo Miral S\/N, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"PhysiUZerapy: Health Sciences Research Group, University of Zaragoza, Calle Domingo Miral S\/N, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Adams, A.C.
