Diagnostic Neck MRI Scan

 

Find the Cause of Your Pain

Most of the time, neck pain just goes away with enough time and rest. Otherwise, you may need to have it checked. There could be any number of root causes. Fortunately, you can have the issue accurately diagnosed with Vista Health’s neck MRI scan.

While an MRI can’t get rid of your neck pain, it will tell your physician how to. The procedure is simple, painless and non-invasive. At Vista Health, you can schedule an appointment as early as tomorrow to have the pain treated as fast as possible.

​​What a Neck Soft Tissue MRI Scan Detects

MRI allows your radiologist to see the tissue and bone inside your neck. It will show if there’s any problem with the following:

  • Vertebrae
  • Spinal cord
  • Muscles and tendons
  • Arteries and veins
  • Other soft tissues
  • Lower portion of the brain

The neck MRI scan may reveal any of the following issues:

  • Inflammation
  • Infections
  • Tissue damage
  • Tumours and other abnormal growths

With enough information, your radiologist will be able to accurately diagnose your condition. Your physician can then determine the best treatment for you.

​​​​​How To Prepare For Your MRI Scan

In most cases, patients aren’t required to do anything special to prepare for their MRI scan. You can eat and take medication as you usually would. However, you will need to provide our team with information about your medical history.

You’ll be asked if you have any of the following conditions or implants:

  • Pregnancy
  • Claustrophobia
  • Allergies to contrast material
  • Pacemaker or defibrillator
  • Cochlear implants
  • Artificial heart valves or joint replacements

These may change how your MRI procedure is performed. For example, claustrophobic patients may need a sedative. If you have an electronic implant, your radiologist will need to work around it so it doesn’t distort the images.

The procedure itself is simple. You just need to remove any metal such as piercings, lie down on the MRI table, stay still and wait. The scan will be done in 15 to 90 minutes, depending on how many images we need to take.

If you’re suffering from neck pain, you don’t want to wait or get a doctor’s referral before getting a scan. You just want to get diagnosed quickly to get treatment as early as possible. That’s why you need Vista Health.
