Drs.say tube mri scans overlook 30% to 50% of spine pathology and the upright mri finds the complete spine pathology http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/upright_mri

As a 24/7 Geek I suffer back pain all the time, eventhough I do not lift anything. These new findings possible explain the reason.

This is very intersting to me. Just the other week I lifted something that caused me to have fairly significant back pain. What was odd is that I was only lifting small, oddly shaped parcels of modest weight. I did have to carry to items on my sholder or sometims on my hip due to their odd shape. Usually I try to bend (lift with your legs) and plant the item to my chest of stomach (not possible in this case).
