Cervical Spondylopathy Should I Do MRI?

MRI examination of cervical spondylosis is necessary. MRI examination of cervical spondylosis can detect disc herniation, whether there are changes in spinal canal and spinal cord, as well as the degree of compression and morphological changes of spinal cord. Cervical spondylosis has some cervical injuries caused by trauma and some spinal cord injuries. It has judgment on the morphology and state of cervical spondylosis spinal cord and some important significance for identifying some tumors, because the signal intensity of intervertebral disc degeneration, spinal cord injury and tumor on MRI is different. Both sagittal and transverse views can diagnose cervical disc herniation, and can show the extent and degree of fracture caused by trauma, as well as the posterior compression of the dural sac after disc herniation, and can see the pathological changes after spinal cord injury. Hemorrhage and substantial damage in the spinal cord are more clearly shown on MRI, so it is necessary to examine MRI for cervical spondylosis and cervical traumatic fracture.
