Your Radiologist Explains: Spine MRI

Learn more about Spine MRI by visiting https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info... Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine uses radio waves, a magnetic field and a computer. It creates clear, detailed pictures of the spine and surrounding tissues. MRI does not use radiation and may require an injection of gadolinium contrast material. Gadolinium is less likely to cause an allergic reaction than iodine contrast material. Tell your doctor about any health problems, recent surgeries, allergies and whether you are pregnant. The magnetic field is not harmful, but it may cause some medical devices to malfunction. Most orthopedic implants pose no risk. But, you should always tell the technologist if you have devices or metal in your body. Guidelines about eating and drinking before your exam vary between facilities. Unless you are told otherwise, take medications as usual. Leave jewelry at home and wear loose, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to wear a gown. If you have a fear of closed spaces, you may want to ask your doctor for a mild sedative before the exam.
