Thoracic Spine (Mid Back) with Contrast MRI Scan

WHAT IS AThoracic Spine (Mid Back) with Contrast MRI Scan

A contrast MRI scan entails the injection of contrast fluids to enhance the visualization of various structures, including intervertebral disks, bone marrow, scar tissue, and spinal fluid. This contrast injection is particularly valuable in specific scenarios, such as when there is a suspicion of infection, the presence of spinal masses, or following a previous spinal surgery. By introducing contrast material into the body, the MRI can yield additional information, aiding in the diagnosis and evaluation of these specific conditions and contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the spinal region.
