MRI Cervical Spine with Whole Spine Screening (MRI) near me in Kalyan

The cervical spine is the part of the spine that runs through the neck area. Generally, an MRI C Spine scan is performed to diagnose spinal injury, bulging discs, tumors birth defects, and infection in the spine. It is also recommended by the doctors before or after spinal surgery as a guide to monitor the treatment process.

MRI scans are needed when other imaging tests like X-ray and CT scan fails to obtain any critical information.

MRI scanning of the whole spine is done to find the cause of the neck pain or back pain. It also helps in the diagnosis of any injury or fracture of the spine and also predicts any suspected tumors or infections of the spinal bones.

MRI is considered to be a safer alternative for pregnant women and growing children, since it doesn’t use ionizing radiation.

Note: It is always important to inform the doctor or technologist at the MRI center about any metallic implants in the body like pacemakers, cochlear implants, aneurysm clips, neuro-stimulators, surgical staples/clips, or drug implants before undergoing the scan. Some implants are not compatible with MRI scanners and may get dislodged/ displaced.
