CANADIAN PATIENTS NEEDING AN MRI SCAN FOR BACK PAIN
Getting an Accurate Back Pain Diagnosis
The cause of back pain is complex and it is often difficult to accurately diagnose.
Accurate diagnosis is critical to achieve the correct treatment. Rapid diagnosis is essential to effectively relieve pain and improve enjoyment of everyday activities.
MRI of the Spine
MRI is the most effective test to visualize normal and abnormal spinal structures and help diagnose the cause of back pain. The MRI scan is an imaging test that allows physicians to visualize the spine and nerve roots to determine the cause of the patient’s back pain. CORRELATING MRI SCAN FINDINGS WITH THE PATIENT'S SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS IS THE MOST ACCURATE WAY TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF BACK PAIN.
