Acute low back pain, defined as less than 6 weeks in duration, does not require imaging in the absence of "red flags" that may indicate a cause, such as fracture, infection, or malignancy. When imaging is indicated, it is important to rule out a host of abnormalities that may be responsible for the pain and any associated symptoms. A common mnemonic VINDICATE can help ensure a thorough consideration of the possible causes.
急性下背痛,定义为病程少于6周,在没有可能提示病因(如骨折、感染或恶性肿瘤)的“红旗”症状时,不需要进行影像学检查。当需要进行影像学检查时,排除一系列可能导致疼痛及任何相关症状的异常情况很重要。一个常用的助记符VINDICATE有助于确保全面考虑可能的病因。
