| In this study, localization of the potential pain generators(nociceptor) in patients presenting with low backache with 18F FDG PET-CT.Timepoint: Diagnostic accuracies of parameters(visual analysis ,leision to bone uptake ratio and leision to blood pool uptake ratio) will be assessed on the basis of the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve (AUC)values. In outcome, co-relation of tracer(18F FDG) uptake value (SUVmax) with pain score on VAS (visual analogue scale) with value ranging 0 to 10 and will be assessed at baseline. | — |
