MRI Cervico-Dorsal Spine with Contrast (MRI)
Also referred as
MRI Cervico Dorsal Spine Junction With Contrast
For men & women
Know more about this test
A Cervico-Dorsal Spine MRI creates images of the section of the spine that goes through the neck area (cervical spine) to the bottom of the rib cage using energy from powerful magnets (dorsal spine). The MRI scan creates detailed and crisp 3D multiple pictures to identify disorders in the soft tissues of the spinal column, such as the spinal cord, nerves, disks, and diseases of the cervical spine.
Before the test, a contrast dye is injected into a vein to assist the doctor in examining the area more clearly. MRIs are safe because low-energy radio waves do not emit radiation, minimal health hazards have been linked to the magnetic field or radio waves.
