MRI Dorsal Spine with Whole Spine Screening (MRI)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of scan that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to capture detailed images of different parts of the body. The MRI of the dorsal (D) spine is used to see the middle part of the spine to detect various disorders such as congenital deformities of the dorsal spine, diseases of intervertebral discs, nerve compression, infections of the spine & tumors of the spine. 

The physician can recommend the MRI Dorsal Spine with Whole Spine Screening (MRI) test if you have severe back pain from a very long period, severe pain around the chest, or post-surgery to record the changes. MRI scanning of the whole spine is done to find the cause of the neck pain or back pain. MRI scanning of the whole spine is done to find the cause of the neck pain or back pain. MRI Dorsal Spine with Whole Spine Screening (MRI) 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.

The MRI scan is a radiation-less test that uses strong magnetic and radio waves to create detailed 3D multiple images. The whole MRI scan procedure takes about 40-60 minutes.

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.
