Overview

What is MRI Cervico-Dorsal Spine?

An MRI cervical dorso spine creates images of the cervical and dorsal regions (neck and upper back region) of the vertebral column along with the surrounding soft tissues like muscles. The images captured during the MRI scan can be stored on an electronic device which is further printed on a film. The MRI scan is radiationless test which uses strong magnetic and radio waves to create a detailed and clear 3D multiple images. The whole MRI scan procedure takes about 40-60 minutes.

Why is MRI Cervico-Dorsal Spine done?

To detect fractures, inflammations, or infections of the vertebral bones not visible on a simple X-ray
To detect and diagnose herniated disk, which is the commonest cause of back pain
To detect malformations or genetic defects (birth defects) during spinal development in children
To detect any infection, injury or inflammation of the soft tissues like muscle, and ligaments of the spine
To diagnose any suspected osteoporosis, deformities or abnormal growth of the bones and arthritis (inflammation of the joints)
To diagnose cervical degenerative disc disease, neck pain, stiff neck
To find out upper neck bones wear and tear or compression of intervertebral discs
To detect any dislocation of the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) or fracture of the upper cervical vertebral bones
To determine presence of tumor/cyst/abnormal mass growth originating from cervical bones or its surrounding soft tissues.
