Abstract

Lower back pain is a common medical problem. Facet joint arthropathy is one of the many causes of lower back pain and diagnosing it as the source of pain is a medical challenge. In this report, the potential of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in the diagnosis of facet joint arthropathy was demonstrated.
