2022年8月23日 · If you have any of these symptoms, you might need a spinal MRI: Lower back (lumbar) pain; Neck (cervical) pain; Mid-spinal (thoracic) pain (less common) Pain radiating to arms and chest

2023年12月2日 · The images obtained from an MRI of the thoracic spine are analyzed by radiologists. They examine the images for any abnormalities, including disc herniations, bone spurs, tumors, or spinal cord compression.

2021年1月7日 · Asymptomatic degenerative findings (such as disc herniation, osteophyte formation, and mild stenosis) are common on thoracic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Therefore, when approaching suspected symptomatic thoracic spondylosis, it is important to combine the clinical findings and the radiographic findings before drawing any conclusions.

Lumbar spine MR imaging may detect abnormalities of the kidneys, adrenal glands, liver, spleen, aorta and para-aortic regions, inferior vena cava, or the uterus and adnexal regions.

MRI: The best option for the diagnosis of a lesion in the thoracic spine is an MRI which provides a 3d image of the bones and soft tissues that include muscle, tendons, blood vessels, nerves, discs, and thoracic joints. MRI uses a combination of magnetic fields and radio waves to create dynamic 3d images that do not use any radiation.

2023年2月21日 · A thoracic spine MRI is a very detailed 3D examination of your spine, bones, ligaments, tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and spinal cord (3). Abnormalities may be detected. The most common abnormalities include:

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the thoracic spine is performed to test patients with back pain. The images for reporting are magnified around the vertebral column, cropping out much of the structure within the thoracic cavity.

2021年10月27日 · A thoracic spine MRI provides detailed images of the vertebrae, soft tissues, and surrounding organs to help detect a variety of conditions including fractures, improper spine curvature, inflammation, infection, herniated discs, tumors, and spinal cord damage.

2024年9月20日 · Cervical/Cervical Spine refers to the upper region of your neck defined by the area encompassing the upper 7 vertebrae within your spine (C1-C7). Thoracic/Thoracic Spine refers to the middle region of your spine defined by the area encompassing the middle 12 vertebrae within your spine (T1-T12).

Common conditions and disorders that affect the thoracic spine include: Herniated Disc: A bulging or ruptured disc can press on nerves, causing pain or discomfort. Scoliosis: Abnormal curvature of the spine that can cause pain and affect posture. Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of the spinal joints leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
