Understanding MRI Lumbosacral Spine
What is MRI Lumbosacral Spine?
The MRI Lumbosacral Spine is a non-invasive test that uses Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology to examine the lower back including lumbar spine (L1-L5), sacrum and surrounding soft tissues. This test produces detailed, cross-sectional images of the spinal structures. It is typically recommended when an individual experiences symptoms such as persistent lower back pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs, or as an adjunct to other diagnostic tests. This test helps identify conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease by providing clear images of soft tissues, nerves, and the spinal cord. This test helps doctors diagnose spinal conditions precisely and identify the underlying cause of lower back pain and develop targeted treatment plans.
