Can cervical spondylosis be examined with MRI?

Cervical spondylosis can certainly be examined with magnetic resonance imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging is very valuable for the diagnosis and classification of cervical spondylosis. Because magnetic resonance can not only see the changes of cervical vertebral body bone, such as hyperplasia, deformation, etc., but also can see the soft tissue around the cervical spine, including spinal cord, nerve roots and ligaments, etc., can find the pathological changes of these soft tissues, so magnetic resonance for the diagnosis of cervical spondylosis value is very high, obviously better than ordinary X-ray film and CT, but according to the specific situation to choose the corresponding examination means. Generally, patients with cervical spondylosis should undergo X-ray examination, and then CT examination or MRI examination according to the corresponding type of cervical spondylosis. However, MRI examination has the highest diagnostic and classification value for cervical spondylosis compared with the first two examinations.
