Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The anatomical terminology to describe the body regions in which pain is experienced, and also the imaging technique to diagnose the spinal problem.
Introduction:
The terminology used to describe the body anatomy (body direction, planes, and surfaces) is called anatomical terminology. The imaging techniques like conventional X-ray, CT (computed tomography), PET (positron emission tomography), ultrasound, and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are used for the diagnosis of a disease or disorder. The patient lifted heavy furniture and pain was experienced in the back of the right leg.
