About This Test
Scan used to evaluate the entire spinal cord, vertebrae, intervertebral discs, and surrounding soft tissues. It is commonly indicated for conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord tumors, metastases, infections, trauma, or congenital anomalies.
MRI Lumbosacral Spine focuses on the lower spine, evaluating lumbar vertebrae, intervertebral discs, sacrum, and nerve roots. It uses similar sequences, emphasizing disc degeneration, herniation, stenosis, and nerve impingement.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is MRI scan?
ANS: It uses magnets and radio waves to create detailed body images.
2.What are pre-requisites?
ANS: No prepartion & no fasting required & bring old records.
3. What is MRI Screening whole spine + MRI Lumbosacral Spine ?
ANS: Whole spine screening MRI – a rapid survey of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine to detect global lesions.
Dedicated high-resolution MRI of the lumbosacral spine – detailed evaluation of lumbar vertebrae, discs, spinal canal, nerve roots, and sacral segments.
This approach is useful when symptoms are localized to the lower back, but a global spine assessment is required to detect multiple lesions, metastases, or inflammatory disease.

4. If contrast study.
ANS : latest eGFR / creatinine report (within 1 month) is required.
5. Is MRI safe?
ANS: Yes. MRI does not use radiation. It is generally very safe. However, patients with certain metal implants or devices may not be eligible.
6. How long does it take?
ANS : 30–40 minutes depending on the area.

ANS : Appointment is preferably else you will rare to wait for your turn.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
