Understanding MRI Lumbosacral Plexus

What is MRI Lumbosacral Plexus?

A Magnetic Resonance Imagining (MRI) lumbar plexus creates a picture of the junction/network of nerves. The lumbar plexus is a complex neural network formed by the lower thoracic and lumbar ventral nerve roots (T12 to L5) which supplies motor and sensory innervation to the lower limb and pelvic girdle.

This test is prescribed by the doctor to diagnose the cancer growth which can destroy the lumbar plexus, to detect pain, numbness, paralysis in the lower back, and to investigate the damaged peripheral nerve of the femur.

What is MRI Lumbosacral Plexus used for?

To find out carcinomatous neuropathy which is congenital or by birth defects
To detect pain, numbeness, paralysis in the lower back and leg
To investigate femoral neuropathy (damaged peripheral nerve of femur) due to trauma (accident) or abdominal surgery
