Treating the root cause of spinal diseases is very important in curing patients to be completely and sustainably cured. Treatment that focuses on the cause of the disease rather than treating the symptoms, with specialized innovations, helps to relieve various pains without having to rely on continuous painkillers. For targeted and effective treatment, accurate diagnosis with MRI technology is important in treating spinal diseases.

MRI is a combination of radio waves and a strong magnetic field that creates high-resolution images that accurately show differences between tissues, regardless of the thickness of the tissue. It can examine the brain, tendons, nerves, blood vessels, muscles, spinal cord, and bones. It can create images of all parts of the body and all planes.

In cases of abnormal spinal symptoms, such as back pain radiating down the leg or pain without a known cause, an MRI scan will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. However, the results must be read in conjunction with an X-ray because it will allow the spinal structure to be clearly seen.

Standing MRI is a new innovation that allows the patient to stand or sit for the examination in order to apply vertical pressure, similar to standing which causes back pain. The doctor can see the examination image that is closer to the patient’s actual condition. Moreover, people who are claustrophobic can also have the examination. The shape of the machine is open on both sides, which is different from a tunnel-type MRI machine.
