Your MRI of the cervical spine, lumbar spine or sacroiliac joints \u2013 explained clear and independently.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether neck, back or low back pain: MRI examinations of the spine provide valuable information – but often in technical language that is incomprehensible to laypeople. I will explain your MRI images of the cervical spine (cervical spine), lumbar spine (lumbar spine) or sacroiliac joints (SIJ) to you – independently, straightforwardly and in a way that is easy to understand. <\/p>\n

MRI of the lumbar spine: provides information about the intervertebral discs, vertebral bodies (lumbar vertebral body), facet joints, the spinal cord and the surrounding tissue. Inflammation, herniated discs or degenerative changes such as slippage of the vertebral body due to wear and tear (spondylolisthesis, e.g. Meyerding grade 1) can also be detected. With an MRI lumbar spine image explanation, you can get an idea of your symptoms yourself, which is valuable for upcoming treatment decisions and compliance with the chosen treatment. <\/p>\n

Do I have to go all the way into the tube for a lumbar spine MRI? In most cases, a partial scan is sufficient – i.e. you only have to lie with your lower body in the tube for a lumbar spine MRI. During an MRI examination, the body region to be examined must be positioned in the middle of the MR scanner. Most modern MRI machines are approx. 140 cm wide, so that the center of the MR scanner is around 70 cm. With this knowledge, it is easy to estimate before the examination how far into the tube you will have to go and whether your head will be outside the tube or not. The diagrams below can help you to visualize this. Many modern devices are spacious, i.e. they have a larger tube diameter, which makes them particularly suitable for patients with claustrophobia. <\/p>\n

Arrive on time for your MRI examination at the agreed appointment. You should first report to the counter and register. There you will be given important information about the examination and usually also information material, which you should then read through at your leisure and, if necessary, carefully complete the enclosed questionnaires. As soon as you are called to the waiting area, you will be taken to the changing room, where you will usually be informed about the examination. You will also be asked to clear the area to be examined and to remove all metal objects, electronic devices or other objects sensitive to electromagnetic radiation; if you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to ask the staff at the respective institute. You will then be placed in the MR scanner. The examination itself is straightforward: you will lie in the tube for about 10 to 20 minutes while the images are taken. The duration depends on the question being asked, the image quality and the device. It is important that you lie very still during the MR examination and do not move, as otherwise the images will be blurred and less easy to assess. It should be noted that, for example, movements of the head or toes have a negative effect on the image quality during an MRI of the lumbar spine, because movements of more distant body regions can also have a negative effect on the image quality. <\/p>\n

Neben der Wirbels\u00e4ule lassen sich beim MRT LWS auch umliegende Strukturen wie Muskeln, Nerven, Bandscheiben und manchmal auch Niere oder Beckenorgane zumindest teilweise beurteilen. Um diese umliegenden Organe aussagekr\u00e4ftig beurteilen zu k\u00f6nnen, wird allerdings empfohlen entsprechend daf\u00fcr ma\u00dfgeschneiderte Untersuchungen, z.B. ein MRT der Nieren, durchf\u00fchren zu lassen. <\/span><\/div>\n
