Cervical spondylosis CT or MRI

Cervical spondylosis can be examined by CT or MRI.

CT can be selected for initial examination, because it can directly show whether there is hyperosteogeny and ligament ossification in the cervical spine, which has important diagnostic significance. If cervical spondylosis has been /confirm/ied, MRI can be further performed to observe the compression of spinal canal and spinal cord, which is conducive to differential diagnosis with other diseases, such as spinal cord inflammation, spinal cord trauma or tumor.

Patients should choose the appropriate examination method according to their own conditions under the doctor's advice, so as to help diagnose the disease type.
