Understanding MRI Screening Whole Spine


What is MRI Screening Whole Spine?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Screening of Whole Spine is used to visualise the spinal column (back bone) and the surrounding soft tissues like muscles using a small amount of radiation. The MRI can find the changes in the spine and other tissues. MRI scans are needed when other imaging tests like X-ray and CT scan fails to obtain any critical information.
MRI scanning of the whole spine is done to find the cause of the neck pain or back pain. It also helps in the diagnosis of any injury or fracture of the spine and also predicts any suspected tumors or infections of the spinal bones.
The MRI scan is a radiation less test that uses strong magnetic and radio waves to create detailed 3D multiple images. The whole MRI scan procedure takes about 40-60 minutes.

What is MRI Screening Whole Spine used for?

  1. To find the cause of the neck pain or back pain that lasts for a long time
  2. To look for any injury or fracture of the spinal bones (vertebrae)
  3. To diagnose any suspected tumors (abnormal growth), arthritis, osteoporosis (thinning of the bones) or infections of the spinal bones
  4. To detect any suspected disc problems like spondylolisthesis (dislocation or slipping of one vertebra over the other), degeneration of the disc or herniated disc
