MRI Lumbo-Sacral Spine (LS) near me in Pune



The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Lumbosacral Spine test is a highly advanced, noninvasive imaging technique that provides detailed cross-sectional images of the lower back. It helps doctors diagnose lower back pain, plan surgery, or monitor progressive medical conditions. It is available at an affordable price in Pune with our partnered labs.
This test is recommended when the individual experiences persistent lower back pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs, especially if these symptoms don't improve with the initial line of treatment. It is also advised if the doctor suspects problems like herniated discs, nerve compression, spinal injury, or degenerative conditions. Additionally, this test is used to check for infections, tumors, or any structural abnormalities in the spine that may be causing the discomfort.
Due to strong magnetic fields, metallic items like coins, jewelry, and hearing aids should be removed before the MRI for this test. Also, inform your radiologist about any metallic implant pacemakers and let them know if you are pregnant.




What does MRI Lumbo-Sacral Spine (LS) measure?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a scanning test that provides detailed images of the lower spine, including bones (vertebrae), discs, nerves, and soft tissues. It helps your doctor see how well the spine is aligned and if there are issues like disc bulges, nerve pressure, or signs of degeneration. It can also reveal infections, inflammation, tumors, or injuries that might be causing pain or discomfort.
During the MRI Lumbo-Sacral Spine (LS) scan, you’ll be asked to lie down on a flat, movable table. Once you're comfortably positioned, the table slowly slides into a large tube-like machine. The MRI machine uses strong magnets and radio waves to capture detailed images of your lower spine. You won’t feel anything during the scan, but you may hear a series of loud knocking or tapping sounds—that's just the machine taking images. It’s important to stay as still as possible to get clear pictures.
