Mri Neck

5000+ scans done & counting

An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of the neck, also known as cervical MRI, is a painless, noninvasive test that produces detailed images of your neck (cervical spine) and soft tissues. The neck is a complex structure composed of vertebrae, spinal cord, nerves, discs, muscles, ligaments, glands, blood vessels, and other soft tissues. An MRI of the neck can help identify or rule out various conditions that cause neck pain, stiffness, or other symptoms.

MRI is a type of imaging technology that utilizes a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed, cross-sectional images of the body's internal structures. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI doesn't rely on ionizing radiation, making it a safe and preferred choice for imaging soft tissues like the spinal cord, nerves, and intervertebral discs.

Specific Instructions:
  • Clothing: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without metal fasteners, zippers, or hooks. You might need to change into a hospital gown for the scan.
  • Fasting: Usually, you don't need to fast before an MRI. But if your doctor plans to use a contrast dye for your scan, you may need to stop eating or drinking a few hours before the procedure.
  • Allergies: Notify your doctor if you have any allergies, especially to contrast dyes.
  • Metallic objects: You'll need to remove all metallic items, such as jewelry, hairpins, glasses, hearing aids, and dentures. Inform your doctor if you have any implanted devices like pacemakers, cochlear implants, or certain types of clips used for brain aneurysms.

MRI is generally a safe procedure. However, the strong magnetic field can affect certain implanted devices, such as pacemakers, and it can cause tattoos or tattooed eyeliner to burn or change color. Some people might have an allergic reaction to the contrast dye.

The procedure typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, but it can take longer if more images are needed.

Wear comfortable, metal-free clothing. Remove all metal objects, and inform your medical team about any medical devices you have. You usually won't need to fast, but check with your doctor in case you're receiving a contrast dye.
