How does MRI work and it’s use in spine ?

MRI of the spine uses a strong magnetic field and radiofrequency pulses to manipulate hydrogen atoms in spinal tissues. When these atoms return to their natural alignment, they emit signals that are transformed into high-resolution images of the vertebrae, discs, spinal cord, and surrounding soft tissues. This imaging method is valuable for identifying structural issues such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, nerve impingement, tumors, infections, congenital conditions, and post-surgical changes. It also aids in surgical planning and tracking treatment progress.
