spine imaging techniques

Spine imaging techniques are medical tests that create detailed pictures of the bones, discs, nerves, and tissues in your back. The most common methods include X-rays, which show bone structure; MRI scans, using magnets and radio waves to visualize soft tissues like nerves and discs in great detail; and CT scans, combining X-ray images for a clearer view of bones and tissues. These techniques help doctors identify issues such as fractures, herniated discs, or nerve compression, guiding accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment for spine-related problems.
