What is cervical MRI?

Cervical MRI is an important medical examination method used to evaluate the structure and condition of the cervical spine.

Cervical MRI can clearly show the bone, disc, spinal cord, nerve roots and other structures of the cervical spine. Through high-resolution imaging, it can accurately detect whether there are fractures, dislocations, disc herniation, spinal stenosis and other diseases of the cervical spine, providing important evidence for diagnosis and treatment. After cervical spine surgery, MRI can be used to assess the recovery of the surgical site, such as spinal cord decompression, bone graft fusion, etc.

It should be noted that patients with metal foreign bodies in the body, such as cardiac pacemakers, metal IUDs, etc., usually cannot undergo this examination. Before the examination, the doctor will ask the patient's medical history and physical condition in detail to ensure the safety and accuracy of the examination.
