WHEN SHOULD A SPINE MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) BE PERFORMED?

MRI is the most modern diagnostic method today, helping to detect any abnormalities in the spine most accurately.

Spinal MRI is often applied to the following cases:

– Frequent numbness and itching in legs and arms

– Prolonged back pain, shoulder and neck pain

– Have a family history of bone cancer

Spinal MRI can help:

– Evaluate nerve roots or spinal cord compression due to disc herniation or spinal degeneration

– Evaluate anatomical abnormalities or congenital diseases related to the spine;

– Diagnosis of diseases inside the spinal canal

– Diagnosis of spinal cord disease: myelitis, myeloma, white matter

– Diagnose a number of other problems such as: early-stage spine metastases, spinal tumors.

Spinal diseases are very dangerous and can cause serious complications, the most serious of which is total paralysis.

Therefore, when there is an abnormality in the spine, you should go for a check-up and have an MRI scan as advised by your doctor to diagnose any abnormalities early.

Outstanding advantages of the 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonance machine (MRI 1.5T) at Thai Nguyen International Hospital

-Non-invasive and highly safe.

-People undergoing magnetic resonance imaging using a 1.5 tesla MRI machine are not exposed to X-rays.

-There are no contraindications for pregnant women and young children, expanding the scope of diagnosis and treatment.

-Provides high-resolution images, evaluating the structure of organs and soft tissues in detail.

-Detect small lesions in difficult-to-identify locations.

-Shorten imaging time compared to low-tesla magnetic resonance machines.

-The noise when operating the 1.5 Tesla MRI machine has been greatly reduced compared to older generations of machines,

-Magnetic contrast agents, if used during a 1.5 tesla MRI scan, are less likely to cause side effects such as anaphylaxis.
