MRI of the cervical spine can give response to your symptoms

Why MRI Cervical Spine Scanning?

Do you have symptoms in your neck, shoulder or arms? Constant aching or sharp pain affects everyday life in a very negative way.

In many cases, it can be due to incorrect posture, strain or overexertion of the neck. Cold, muscle tension and stress can also be causes of a stiff neck. However, it is not uncommon for the symptoms to be caused by a herniated disc in the cervical spine, previous accidents or wear and tear of the discs and cartilage in the cervical vertebrae.

The sooner you can find out the cause of your symptoms, the sooner you can get the right treatment and rehabilitation for your condition. With MRI Cervical Spine, you will find out about any injuries or diseases immediately, so you can start your rehabilitation immediately.

Advanced and harmless examination

MRI Cervical Spine is a very reliable, simple, painless, and advanced method without any dangerous radiation. With this technology, you can visualize the cervical spine and surrounding tissue at the mm level. Magnetic resonance imaging or MRI as it is called, does not contain any X-ray radiation and is a reliable, harmless and painless examination.

Is an MRI scan of the cervical spine for me?

Through an MRI scan of the cervical spine, the doctor in charge can quickly and clearly identify whether there is damage or other abnormality that could be the cause of your symptoms.

The examination is recommended if you suffer from neck, shoulder or shoulder problems, recognize yourself in the above situations such as poor posture, overexertion of the neck or have recently been in an accident involving the cervical spine.

Information about MRI Cervical Spine

What is an MRI scan?
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI or MR) is a medical imaging technique for diagnostic purposes using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) camera.
  • MRI involves taking images using magnetic fields and radio waves without any X-ray radiation, which makes it completely harmless.
  • The technology is used to detect diseases, map injuries and follow up treatments at the millimeter level in almost all human organs, such as tumors, inflammation, fractures, osteoarthritis, stroke and changes in blood vessels and bones.
How does MRI of the cervical spine work?
  • MRI examinations are performed at X-ray clinics. The images are first reviewed by a specialist in X-ray (radiologist). Prevcare's specialist then reviews the results, writes a summary and recommendations. If necessary, a referral is sent for further processing.
  • When you are examined with an MRI camera, you lie down on a bed that is moved into a so-called magnetic tunnel. There, you lie still while the images are taken. A nurse operates the camera from an adjacent room, and you can talk to the nurse at all times through a microphone and speaker.
  • After the MRI examination, you can leave the clinic immediately.
  • MRI of the cervical spine takes about 20 minutes.
Who is not suitable for MRI of the Cervical Spine?
  • If you have electronic equipment implanted in your body, such as a pacemaker, insulin pump or cochlear implant, for example.
  • If you have had surgery on your head or heart and have metal clips implanted instead of stitches after surgery.
  • If you have metal splinters in your eye or other part of your body.
  • If you answered yes to any of the above, tell us so we and our doctor can look at what options are available.
  • Fixed dental fillings, dental implants, prostheses, hip-knee prostheses, and screws in the arms and legs are not an obstacle to an MRI examination.
How do I prepare for the examination?
  • Please state in your health form if you have had previous X-ray examinations. This is so that our doctors can assess your condition as accurately as possible.
  • It is important that you state if you have diabetes, kidney problems or other illnesses in your health form. This is so that our doctors can assess your condition as accurately as possible.
  • It is necessary to tell your doctor if you are pregnant. MRI is generally not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy. In such cases, the examination may be postponed until after the baby is born.
  • It is important that you tell us if you suffer from claustrophobia, or have a general feeling of discomfort in confined spaces. In this case, a discussion can be held with the responsible doctor regarding whether it is necessary to prescribe sedatives to make the examination as comfortable as possible. If you think that you are calmed by music, there is also, in some cases, the possibility of playing music during the examination for your comfort.
  • Also take the opportunity to leave all forms of jewelry and clothing that contain metal at home before you come for the examination.
  • Otherwise, it is good to discuss with the responsible specialist to see if there is anything above that cannot be fulfilled. At Prevcare, we are usually flexible regarding different solutions.
