Understanding MRI Lumbar Spine in Faridabad


What is MRI Lumbar Spine in Faridabad?

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Lumbar Spine test is a completely safe and painless imaging procedure that utilizes strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the lower back, including the spine, nerves, muscles, intervertebral discs, and surrounding tissues. It is available at an affordable price near you in Faridabad with our partnered labs.

The MRI Lumbar Spine test is recommended for symptoms such as persistent lower back pain, leg weakness, numbness, or pain radiating down the legs (sciatica). It can also help diagnose conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, fractures, tumors, or infections and evaluate injuries, congenital abnormalities, and degenerative diseases like arthritis.

For this test, 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 Lumbar Spine measure?

The MRI Lumbar Spine is an advanced imaging test that combines strong magnetic fields, radio waves, and a computer screen to create images of the lumbar spine (lower spine).

Also, it helps identify nerve compression or damage, which is crucial in diagnosing conditions like sciatica and assessing inflammation or degenerative changes in the spine, such as spondylosis.
