Thoracic Disc Herniation What to Check

Thoracic disc herniation usually requires X-ray examination, magnetic resonance imaging, nerve conduction examination, etc.

1.X-ray examination

patients need to undergo X-ray examination, and then according to the examination results, determine whether there is fracture or deformity in the affected area.

2.Magnetic resonance imaging

MRI can clearly show the soft tissue structure such as intervertebral disc, spinal cord, nerve root, etc., which can help determine the degree of herniation and whether there is nerve compression in the affected area.

3.Nerve conduction examination

Nerve conduction examination can evaluate the abnormality of nerve conduction velocity and reaction, and is used to determine whether there is nerve damage. It is helpful to formulate treatment plan according to the examination results.
