Spine type 2 modic

Answer 1

Modic type 2 changes refer to a specific type of bone marrow edema seen on MRI, typically associated with degenerative disc disease. These changes indicate an increase in fatty marrow and are often found in the vertebrae adjacent to degenerated intervertebral discs. While Modic type 2 changes can be asymptomatic, they are sometimes linked to chronic low Back pain. Their clinical significance is still debated, and they may reflect underlying disc degeneration rather than direct pain causation.
