MRI scans can identify and diagnose injuries, small tears, diseases, and abnormalities in the spine, knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, wrist, and more. They can identify ruptured or herniated discs, spinal stenosis, nerve damage, cartilage damage, multiple sclerosis, primary bone tumors, aneurysm, bladder cancer, and more. MRI scans are interpreted by board-certified radiologists to diagnose medical conditions and rule out problems.
How Are MRI Scans Performed?
MRI scans are performed in MRI machines that use large magnets, radio waves, and a computer to produce detailed, cross-sectional images of the inside of the body. MRI machines are large, tubed-shaped, and open on both sides. The patient will lay on a motorized bed that moves into and out of the machine. Weight-bearing MRIs simulate a standing-up position and compress the lumbar spine to replicate the pressure the spine experiences every day. They reveal problems in the spine that aren’t visible during standard MRI scans.
