What is a Spine MRI?
Spine MRI is a diagnostic imaging technology that uses radio waves and magnetic fields to capture images of the body’s soft tissues, bones, and the structure of the internal organs. It is a non-invasive procedure. Sometimes, a contrast dye is used to enhance the imaging. After the scan, you are free to go, and the procedure is safe and stress-free.
A 1.5T MRI system assisted by AI technology is an advanced machine that specifically captures detailed images accurately and clearly in less time. Also, individuals who are anxious or uncomfortable in standard enclosed MRI equipment can use an open MRI system. Spine MRI is a painless, non-invasive method that produces high-quality photos. Unlike X-rays, MRI does not emit potentially dangerous radiation.
Moreover, MRI scans are surely safe for pregnant women because our modern system does not use any radiation, unlike X-rays. Depending on your symptoms and location of pain, a spine MRI scan can focus on one of three specific locations of the spine.
Types of Spine MRI
Types of spine MRI include:
Cervical Spine MRI
A cervical spine MRI is particularly performed to check for any problems related to the cervical spine and soft tissues in the neck. This scan generally diagnoses any underlying issue with the structure of spinal tissues, bulging discs, trauma to the spine, and spinal cord compression.
MRI Lumbar Spine
The MRI lumbar spine particularly assesses the lumbar region of the spine, as most back problems arise due to issues in this region.
Dorsal Spine MRI
Dorsal or thoracic spine MRI is a medical imaging technology that captures clear images of the middle region of the spine between the neck and lower back. This test, in particular, helps diagnose tumors, cancer signs, infections, and spinal cord abnormalities.
Full Spine MRI
This MRI scan provides detailed and quality images of the whole spine, including cervical, dorsal, and thoracic regions. It is mainly performed to evaluate the progress of spinal treatment.

What's the difference between contrast and non-contrast spine MRI?
A contrast spine MRI uses a dye injected into the patient’s veins before scanning. Contrast spine MRI enhances the quality of images for better visualization of soft tissues and blood vessels. Meanwhile, non-contrast spine MRI captures images of the spine without contrast enhancement. Still, it is enough for an accurate diagnosis.
Is a spine MRI safe?
Yes, a spine MRI is certainly safe.
What is the price of spine MRI?
