Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine uses radio waves, a magnetic field, and a computer. It produces clear, detailed images 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.

Syringomyelia is a chronic disease of the spinal cord that can cause many dangerous complications, even threatening the patient's life.

Many people are still confused about what an MRI is. In fact, MRI is a modern medical technique that uses magnetic fields, radio waves, and computers to create detailed images of body parts. MRI is safe for customers because it does not use X-rays like X-rays or CT scans.

The spinal cord is an important part of the central nervous system. Spinal cord injury is a serious injury that affects many functions of the body. When the spinal cord is severely damaged, the patient may face sequelae such as disability, quadriplegia, paralysis of both arms or legs. Diagnosis of spinal cord injury requires determining the location of the injured area of the cord, in which imaging diagnostic tools play an important role in diagnosing the location and extent of the injury.
