Service Providers for MRI of MAT Spine
An MRI of the MAT spine (which likely refers to the ""Multilevel Axial Thoracic"" spine) is a diagnostic procedure that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the thoracic spine, located in the upper and mid-back area. This type of MRI is typically used to evaluate conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, or spinal cord issues. It provides detailed views of the vertebrae, discs, and nerves in the thoracic region. No special preparation is generally required, though fasting may be needed if contrast is used. During the procedure, you will lie still in the MRI machine for 20-45 minutes. The scan is painless, and a radiologist will interpret the results for diagnosis.
