CT scanning is painless, noninvasive and accurate. It’s also the most reliable imaging technique for determining if the sinuses are obstructed and the best imaging modality for sinusitis.

What An MRI Scan Reveals about Back Pain!

Have backpain? Work related injuries? Need a scan for surgery? Call 219-923-8540 or visit http://stmaryopenmri.com

When a physician orders an MRI scan, there is specific information they will be looking for. Information that is typically gleaned from MRI results include:

Spinal alignment
Disc height and hydration
Vertebral body configuration
Intervertebral disc - How does the disc appear? Is it normal, bulging, herniated, dehydrated or degenerated?
Spinal canal size - Is it sufficient to comfortably accommodate the spinal cord and nerves? Is there spinal cord or nerve root compression?
Nerves - Are the nerves “pinched” (compressed) or inflamed anywhere?
Abnormalities - Are there any abnormalities near the spine that might simulate spinal pain?
Spinal cord - Is the spinal cord normal in physical appearance?
If post-surgery - Has anything changed since the spine surgery? Is there another disc herniation, postoperative scarring or infection?
