MRI Cervical Spine - What to Expect

Diagnostic Imaging is a critical tool for an accurate diagnosis of orthopaedic conditions, and OrthoGeorgia is proud to offer state of the art digital imaging to our valued patients. MRI is used to evaluate muscle, ligaments, tendons, nerves, cartilage, and bone. It is a noninvasive study that provides a great amount of information. This video shows what you can expect during a cervical spine MRI scan at OrthoGeorgia.

Today, I'm going to a full spine MRI . I'm very scared and nervous 😢

[@frankglenn7693]

How did it go?

[@Lvr_angel]

I’m getting a full spine MRI tomorrow I’m so nervous

[@vass169]

Hope it went well. How long did it take? Did you have to wear that head harness inside the machine?

[@LightS_bRight]

Can you mention how long this process takes for upper cervical MRI? Please and thank you.
I'm sure that would help others feed their curiosity as well.

Most of our MSK MRI scans are under 30 mins. The length of a Cervical Spine MRI is 18-20 mins. The extended length of all scans is determined by many factors, such as existing hardware in the area of interest due to previous surgery, patient motion, or retained electronic implants that have to be scanned under specific guidelines. Hope this helps!

The cage over your head is THE WORST!

[@givemecash9404]

Why is that covering his face? Is that optional Iam claustrophobia

[@HarryBallsss]

It’s absolutely awful! It is a camera, and also a couple of mirrors. The mirrors are so you can see out by your feet. That actually makes it worse for me. Such a bad experience. Some people are fine with it, but I have an awful time. Good luck

[@wtiy]

​@@HarryBallsss at least you managed to pull yourself together and do it. I couldn't

[@HarryBallsss]

@@wtiy ugh! Sorry to hear that. Did they give you anything? I had another two tests a few days ago, and I have no clue how I did it. Freaking awful.

[@wtiy]

@@HarryBallsss I did an open MRI instead and I’m not even sure if it’s the reason why I couldn’t get a proper diagnosis or not.. so I’m thinking to redo it all over and face my fear.

[@wtiy]

@@HarryBallsss what are you doing it for? And how long did it take?

[@MooseCall]

Hard pass.
