MRI Cervico-Dorsal Spine (MRI)

An MRI of the Cervico-Dorsal Spine creates pictures of the spine that goes up through the neck area and the upper back using energy from powerful magnets. The scan creates detailed and crisp 3D images to identify disorders in the muscles, soft tissues, nerves, and disks of the vertebral section. The scan usually takes 30-60 minutes.

It is a painless and safe medical procedure that detects inflammation, injury in the ligaments and bones, hernia, fractures, and genetic defects in the vertebral column. The pictures from the scan diagnose tumors or cysts in the region and can determine the causes of backache, neck pain or severe pain in the shoulder. Abnormal test results may indicate multiple sclerosis, injury or infection in spine, slip disk, osteoporosis or spinal tumor.
