The criterion for inclusion in the analysed group was back pain as the dominant symptom. This symptom occurred in 20% (68 patients) of referrals for MRI examinations. The examination was performed with the 3T Magnetom Spectra.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>In 68 patients aged 2 to 17 years, with back pain as the first diagnosis, 53% (36 patients \u2013 16 girls and 20 boys) showed abnormalities. The rest of the tests were assessed as normal. Among the patients with an abnormal MR image, the largest group were children with degenerative changes diagnosed: 10 children (28%) aged 13-17 years. In 9 patients (25%) aged 2-16 years the final diagnosis qualified the patients to the group of oncological diagnoses. Another group of 7 (19%) patients, aged 6-14 years, comprised children diagnosed with inflammation. The group of 5 patients, aged 3-17 years, presented symptoms most likely related to the trauma. One 7-year-old boy was diagnosed with large calcifications within the intervertebral disc.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>Back pain, with accompanying neurological symptoms, should not be underestimated. Although in most clinical situations the MR image is normal, in the case of persistent symptoms and neurological abnormalities confirmed by the clinician, extending the diagnostics with MR imaging should be considered. This imaging can accelerate the correct diagnostic path or make a very precise diagnosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5114\/pjr.2023.130977","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,6]],"date-time":"2023-09-06T09:50:20Z","timestamp":1693993820000},"page":"371-378","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Children with back pain \u2013 a\u00a0radiologist\u2019s approach"],"prefix":"10.5114","volume":"88","author":[{"given":"Hanna","family":"Potoczna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Bereda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Mania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Mazur-Melewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Jo\u0144czyk-Potoczna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3061","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-1158586","first-page":"19","article-title":"Back pain in children and adolescents","volume":"102","author":"Achar S","year":"2020","unstructured":"Achar S, Yamanaka J.
