Field Gap

Under-studied area: Reliability vs accuracy

Over-represented in the literature

Interobserver reliability studies of grading scales (stenosis, disc) are abundant

Under-represented

Prospective linkage of imaging grade to functional/surgical outcome is scarce

Why the gap exists

Reliability is cheap (re-read existing scans); outcome linkage needs longitudinal follow-up
