Understanding MRI Dorsal Spine in Secunderabad

What is MRI Dorsal Spine in Secunderabad?

The Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Dorsal Spine test is a highly advanced, non-invasive, painless imaging technique that uses magnetic and radio waves to create detailed images of the mid-back area, focusing on the thoracic vertebrae, spinal cord, and surrounding tissues. It is available at an affordable price near you in Secunderabad with our partnered labs.

This test is advised for individuals experiencing persistent back pain, trauma, or symptoms related to spinal cord compression, such as numbness or weakness in the limbs. It helps diagnose conditions such as herniated discs, congenital spine deformities, infections, inflammation, tumors, or spinal injuries that could impact mobility and overall body functioning.

Metallic items like coins, jewelry, and hearing aids should be removed before the MRI, as strong magnetic fields can pull on any metallic object. Inform your radiologist about any metallic implants or pacemakers and let them know if you are pregnant.

What does MRI Dorsal Spine measure?

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging procedure that combines a large magnet, radio frequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body. The MRI Dorsal Spine test (also known as the thoracic spine) provides detailed images of the middle portion of your spine. This test is used to detect issues such as herniated discs, spinal cord compression, fractures, inflammation, tumors, or degenerative conditions like arthritis. It helps doctors evaluate the health of the bones, discs, nerves, and surrounding tissues to determine the cause of pain, numbness, or other spinal problems. This non-invasive scan can also reveal the cause of neck pain, nerve-related symptoms, or spinal injuries, helping diagnose potential spinal abnormalities and guide care strategies.
