Service Providers for MRI of Craniovertebral junction and CT cut
MRI of the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) with CT cuts is a specialized procedure used to examine the junction where the skull and cervical spine meet. It helps diagnose conditions like Chiari malformation, atlantoaxial instability, spinal cord compression, and tumors. The MRI provides detailed images of soft tissues, including the spinal cord and brainstem, while the CT slices focus on bony structures for evaluating bone alignment, fractures, or malformations. Contrast dye may be used to enhance image clarity. The procedure involves lying still in both scanners, with minimal risks such as mild discomfort or rare allergic reactions to the contrast dye. The combined results offer a comprehensive view of both soft tissue and bone abnormalities in this critical area.
