Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic procedure that uses a powerful magnet, radiofrequencies and a computer to create detailed images of organs and structures within the body. An MRI could be used to check almost all parts of the body, including heart, blood vessels and internal organs, such as the liver, womb or prostate gland, and cervical spine. A full body MRI scan or whole body MRI scan takes powerful images of the entire body, to give an immediate insight into your health.
For instance, in the case of cervical spine, an MRI scan cervical spine helps examine an injury to any part of your spinal column, spinal cord, discs, or ligaments. An MRI CX spine helps diagnose bulging discs, or herniated discs, aneurysms – or bulges in arteries, tumors in bones or soft tissues, infections, cancer, abnormal curvature of the spine, spinal cord injury, and other soft tissue disorders and bone abnormalities. An MRI Cspine is also helpful in finding out whether you sustained any damage from an accident or an injury. Your doctor may advise an MRI cervical scan to investigate symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness in the upper extremities, headaches, masses or lumps, and neck pain. The most important aspect of an MRI scanner is its magnet and magnetic field. Most scanners range between 1.5T and 3.0T. For most routine scans, 1.5T is the standard imaging method. For highly detailed images in less time, 3 Tesla MRI machines provide quality and precision. You can get the relevant information on MRI scan centres by searching it online.
