Through MRI images of the lumbar spine, it is possible to see whether there is spinal stenosis in the anterior-posterior direction or whether the spine has degenerated to form bone spurs in the vertebral body...

An MRI scan provides images that are different from other imaging tests such as X-rays, ultrasounds, or CT scans. An MRI of the lumbar spine shows the bones, discs, spinal cord, and the spaces between the vertebrae where nerves travel.

MRI is becoming increasingly popular in examining structures related to bones and nerves, especially the lumbar spine. This tool provides objective, clear, reconstructive images and is very useful in solving pathological problems in the lumbar spine.

Lumbar spine MRI uses magnetic waves to create clear, detailed images of the lumbar spine and surrounding tissues. By injecting contrast dye, this method allows for better examination of lesions in this area and causes less allergic reactions than iodine contrast material in CT scans.

Lumbar spine MRI is used to diagnose many spinal diseases, including disc herniation. This is a safe, highly accurate imaging diagnostic technique that is widely used today.

In cases where lumbar spine MRI is used to evaluate lumbar spine pathology, patients usually do not need to be injected with contrast. However, if it is necessary to evaluate infection, detect tumors, and assess the extent of soft tissue damage, contrast-enhanced MRI is essential.
