Lumbar disc herniation examination to do MRI or CT is good

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a common imaging examination. MRI is usually better than CT.

MRI can clearly observe whether there are lesions and lesions in the spinal nerve site, and can also show the shape of the nerve root, and show the relationship between lumbar disc herniation and surrounding tissues such as dural sac and nerve root.

CT is also a common imaging examination. It usually only shows the structure of lumbar bone tissue, and the images of spinal cord, nerve root and intervertebral disc are relatively poor.
