An MRI Spine is a series of non-invasive Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans focused on different sections of the spine: Cervical (neck), Thoracic (mid-back), and Lumbosacral (lower back and tailbone).
These scans use radiofrequency pulses within a strong magnetic field to create detailed images of the bones, disc spaces, spinal cord, and surrounding tissues, allowing for a thorough evaluation of the spine.
MRI Spine scans are especially useful in assessing spinal conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and fractures. They also help diagnose degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis and provide valuable insights into spinal and nerve pathologies, including infections and potential tumour presence.
Adding this comprehensive imaging test to your health screening supports accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment planning for various spinal health concerns.
