MRI Lumbosacral Spine near me in Hyderabad

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for Lumbosacral Spine (LS) is a scan that produces detailed images of the lumbar area (the bones, disks, and other structures in the lower back). It uses magnets and radio waves to capture images. The scan allows the doctor to see soft tissues like muscles and organs in addition to your bones.

MRI LS is done to find the cause of lower back pain, diagnose suspected infections or tumors of the spine. It may also be advised in case of the brain or spinal cancer. It can also help diagnose any injury of the spinal bones.

Unlike an X-ray or CT scan, an MRI is considered to be a safer alternative for pregnant women and growing children, since it doesn’t use ionizing radiation. However, people with metal implants may be at risk. Do inform your doctor if you have any such condition.
