Know more about this test

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Cervical Spine test is a highly advanced, noninvasive, painless imaging technique that uses magnetic and radio waves to create detailed images of the neck’s soft tissues, spinal cord, and nerves. It is available at an affordable price in Greater Noida with our partnered labs.

This test is recommended when you experience symptoms such as numbness of the arms or neck pain, stiffness and reduced range of movements in the neck and arm region. It helps detect various medical conditions, including aneurysms, nerve compression, tumors, bulging or herniated discs, and autoimmune disorders. 

Additionally, this test also reveals the cause of neck pain, nerve-related symptoms, or spinal injuries, helping diagnose potential spinal abnormalities and guide care strategies. 

For this test, remove metallic items like coins, jewelry, and hearing aids before the MRI due to strong magnetic fields that can pull on any metallic objects. Inform your radiologist about any metallic implants or pacemakers and let them know if you are pregnant.

Understanding MRI Cervical Spine (MRI)

The MRI Cervical Spine test provides clear and detailed images of the part of the spine that runs through the neck area (cervical spine), including the spinal cord, nerves, muscles, and vertebrae. As opposed to a CT scan or X-ray, there is no risk of radiation exposure associated with a cervical spine MRI.

The spinal column supports the head and protects the spinal cord. This is the main structure that links the network of nerves throughout the body. MRI allows this column to be viewed in 3D (3-Dimensional), as well as the ligaments, tendons, nerves, muscles, and blood supply that surround it.

The MRI of the cervical spine proves beneficial for individuals experiencing symptoms such as numbness of the arms or neck pain, stiffness, and reduced range of movements in the neck and arm area. It helps detect various medical conditions, including aneurysms, tumors, bulging or herniated discs, and autoimmune disorders. 

This test utilizes advanced magnetic resonance technology in either open MRI (less confining) or closed MRI (high resolution) systems to provide precise imaging of the cervical spine.

Before undergoing an MRI cervical spine test, remove metal objects like metallic coins, jewelry, metal wristwatches, metallic keys, dentures, or hearing aids, as the MRI uses strong magnetic fields and can pull on any metallic objects. Wear loose and comfortable clothing without metal fasteners. Inform the doctor about any pregnancy, medical history, allergies, medications, pacemaker, metal implants, etc. before going for an MRI test. If too claustrophobic or overweight to undergo a traditional closed MRI, discuss sedation or open MRI options with the doctor.

Interpretation of test results requires expert guidance. Therefore do not self-medicate solely based on these test results. Always consult the doctor for a proper understanding of the test results. 

Disclaimer: For radiology tests, you need to visit your nearest Tata 1mg partnered lab facility.

The MRI Cervical Spine (MRI) test provides detailed images of the neck’s soft tissues, spinal cord, nerves, and vertebrae. It measures the alignment of the spine and detects any nerve compression or damage of the spine. It also finds out conditions like herniated discs, tumors, inflammation, or degenerative changes. This noninvasive scan can also reveal the cause of neck pain, nerve-related symptoms, or spinal injuries, helping diagnose potential spinal abnormalities and guide care strategies. 

FAQs related to MRI Cervical Spine (MRI) in Greater Noida

Yes, the MRI Cervical Spine (MRI) is considered safe for most individuals. It doesn’t use ionizing radiation, but if you have metal implants or are pregnant, discuss it with your doctor before undertaking this test.
During the MRI, you will lie on a table that slides into the MRI machine. The procedure is painless, but you may need to lie still for some time while images are taken. You may hear loud tapping or thumping sounds.
If you have claustrophobia, inform your doctor or technician before the test. They may suggest solutions like medication or sedation to help you relax, or they might use an open MRI machine, which provides a less confined space.
Open MRI machines have a wider opening and are less confining. This makes them ideal for claustrophobic individuals. Closed MRI machines have a narrow design and usually provide higher-resolution images, which can be better for detailed examinations. The choice depends on medical needs and individual comfort.
MRI is generally considered safe during pregnancy. It uses radio waves and magnetic fields to create images and does not use radiation.
