This examination may be recommended for patients with persistent or unexplained back pain, suspected spinal infection, inflammation, tumors, abnormal bone-marrow changes, neurological symptoms, or postoperative spinal abnormalities.

Can MRI Dorsal Spine – Contrast detect spinal tumors?

Yes. MRI can help identify and characterize tumors involving the vertebrae, spinal cord, nerve-related structures, bone marrow, or surrounding soft tissues and assess their extent.
