What supplies and machines are used for MRI LS-Spine?

Accepted Answer

The MRI machine creates comprehensive cross-sectional images of the lumbar-sacral region of the spine using a big magnet for a strong magnetic field, radio waves, and computer software.

Question 12

What are the adverse effects of the MRI LS-Spine scan?

Accepted Answer

An MRI LS-Spine scan uses several complex diagnostic procedures for in-depth screening, which can have negative effects on patients. The patient can experience headaches, itchy eyes, skin rashes, nausea, and irritation due to the injection of the contrast dye and its gadolinium content. Apart from this, its strong magnetic waves can also cause skin burn and rashes. Women in their first trimester of pregnancy should visit a gynecologist as it can cause harm to the baby due to its magnetic waves during the procedure.

Can I undergo MRI LS-Spine scan if I have implantations or other medical equipment embedded in my body?

Accepted Answer

An MRI scan is not advisable if you have got aneurysm clips, prosthetic devices, neuro-stimulators, pacemakers, splints, or cochlear implants in your body. It is because MRI scans use a strong magnetic field, which may be highly uncomfortable and harmful to the body, and they also have a negative impact on image quality.

Question 14

I booked an MRI LS-Spine scan, what’s next?

Accepted Answer

After booking MRI LS-Spine scan, you need to visit the diagnostic center at your selected time window. After that, you will only have to lie down as instructed by a lab technician. The rest of the scanning procedure will be handled by the lab expert and the MRI machines.
