Spine MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) of the spine is a noninvasive procedure that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create pictures of the components that make up the spine -- the vertabrae (spine bones), the spinal cord, and the spaces between the vertebrae through which the nerves travel. Unlike conventional radiography and CT imaging, which uses radiation ( X-rays ) passing through a patient to generate images, MRI is based on the magnetic properties of atoms. MRI scans differentiate between organs, and potentially, provide contrast between benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tissue. Any of the images collected can be stored in a computer or printed on film. MRI can easily be performed through clothing and bones. Certain types of metal, however, in or around the area under investigation can cause significant errors, called artifacts, in the images.
