Recommended For
• Individuals experiencing shoulder stiffness or lower back pain

MRI Examination of the Cervical and Lumbar Spine
• A 1.5 Tesla MRI is used to perform diagnostic imaging of the cervical and lumbar spine.

• This examination evaluates not only bones but also intervertebral discs and nerves, making it possible to identify the causes of persistent lower back pain, leg numbness, and shoulder stiffness.

• It is useful for detecting conditions such as vertebral tumors, lumbar tumors, spinal tumors, intervertebral disc herniation, lumbar spinal canal stenosis, lumbar compression fractures (including old fractures), degenerative lumbar spondylosis, spondylolisthesis, and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (designated intractable disease).
