If the pain is caused by accidental bumps, car accidents, injuries, etc., CT is recommended as the first choice, but it is not absolutely not allowed to undergo MRI. If it is due to long-term weight-bearing activities, accompanied by pain and numbness in the buttocks and lower limbs, it is recommended to take MRI of the lumbar spine as the best choice. Well, compared with MRI, lumbar CT still has some deficiencies in lumbar disc herniation. In addition, lumbar CT is more clear than MRI in fracture and so on.
