Background: The NHRMC guidelines for the evidence-based management of acute musculoskeletal pain developed by the Australian Acute Musculoskeletal Pain Guidelines Group recommend that diagnostic imaging should not be routinely used for patients presenting with acute low back pain where the cause is non-specific. In this report we review the current state of evidence in relation to the usefulness of imaging tests in these cases.
