Description
A cervical MRI scans the neck’s spinal cord and nerves to diagnose pain, numbness, or weakness from injury, arthritis, or disc issues—costs ¥500–¥1,000 in China, with ChinaMedicalHub assisting hospital booking and interpreter support.
Main Uses
Cervical MRI is primarily used to diagnose and evaluate conditions affecting the neck and upper spine, including but not limited to: assessing the extent of disc herniation, identifying spinal cord compression, evaluating for tumors or infections, and diagnosing causes of neck pain, arm pain, or neurological symptoms. It is also useful in planning surgical interventions and monitoring the effectiveness of treatments.
Normal Range
A cervical MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) does not have a numerical normal range like blood tests. Instead, it is interpreted based on the absence of abnormalities such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or tumors. A normal MRI would show no signs of these conditions, with the spinal cord and nerves appearing unobstructed and healthy.
Low Values - Possible Causes
N/A - Cervical MRI results are not quantified in terms of high or low values. Abnormalities are identified through visual assessment by a radiologist.
High Values - Possible Causes
N/A - Cervical MRI results are not quantified in terms of high or low values. Abnormalities are identified through visual assessment by a radiologist.
