Spinal Imaging

Spinal imaging refers to techniques used to visualize the spine and its structures, helping doctors diagnose conditions like injuries, tumors, or spinal disorders. Common methods include X-rays, which show bone structures; MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), which provides detailed images of soft tissues, nerves, and discs; and CT (Computed Tomography) scans, which offer cross-sectional images of the spine. These imaging techniques allow healthcare professionals to assess the health of the spine, guide treatment decisions, and monitor progress after interventions. Understanding the images helps ensure appropriate care for spine-related issues.
