MRI Lumbar Spine

MRI for Lumbosacral Spine (LS) is a scan that generates detailed pictures of the lumbar region (the bones, disks, and other structures in the lower back). In addition to bones, the scan lets the doctor view soft tissues such as muscles and organs. Magnets and radio waves are used to capture photos.

Why is it done? 

MRI LS is used to determine the origin of lower back discomfort and identify suspected infections or spinal malignancies. It can also aid in the diagnosis of spinal injuries. It may also be recommended for brain or spinal cancer.

• If you are pregnant, notify your technician, as radiation may harm the baby.
