Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Test Group
Participants will receive serial MRIs over the course of 12-months at 2-, 4-, 6-, and 12 month intervals. This group's images will be used to help guide their clinical care outcomes.
MRI
Reader confidence using standard lumbar MRI techniques on diagnosing pars stress injuries will be compared to advanced techniques. Additionally, various software/MRI sequences will be tested to evaluate image quality and to improve resolution compared to institution pars MRI scan protocols.
Control Group
Participants will receive serial MRIs over the course of 12-months at 2-, 4-, 6-, and 12 month intervals. This group's images will NOT be used to help guide their clinical care outcomes for the 2-, 4-, and 6-month images. However, the 12-month images may be used to guide clinical care outcomes.
MRI
Reader confidence using standard lumbar MRI techniques on diagnosing pars stress injuries will be compared to advanced techniques. Additionally, various software/MRI sequences will be tested to evaluate image quality and to improve resolution compared to institution pars MRI scan protocols.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Symptoms of back pain at the time of enrollment
* Clinical imaging demonstrating pars stress interarticularis injury or pars interarticularis defect
Exclusion Criteria
* Any condition for which an MRI procedure is contraindicated (e.g., metallic material in the body such as pacemakers, metallic clips, etc.)
* Pregnancy
* Likelihood of claustrophobia
* Any patient-related factors that compromised quality on the initial diagnostic scan (patient motion, ascites fluid, difficulty with positioning during the scan)
