Cervical Spine MRI at AV Scan, Dadar West

AV Scan offers advanced cervical spine MRI — the gold standard investigation for neck pain, arm symptoms and suspected spinal cord compression. All studies personally reported by Dr. Avinash Bansal, MSK Imaging Fellow and FMF (UK) certified radiologist.

Cervical spine MRI is essential for evaluating disc prolapse causing arm pain (brachialgia), numbness or weakness, and for detecting spinal cord compression (myelopathy) — which can have serious consequences if missed.

What Does Cervical Spine MRI Diagnose?

  • Cervical disc prolapse — C5/6, C6/7, C4/5 most common
  • Nerve root compression — causing arm pain, numbness, weakness
  • Cervical myelopathy — spinal cord compression causing gait disturbance
  • Cervical spondylosis — degenerative changes, osteophytes
  • Spinal canal stenosis
  • Cord signal changes — myelomalacia, demyelination
  • Post-traumatic assessment — whiplash, fractures
  • Infections — discitis, epidural abscess
  • Spinal tumours and metastases

When Should You Get a Cervical Spine MRI?

  • Neck pain with arm pain, tingling or weakness
  • Headaches originating from the neck (cervicogenic headache)
  • Difficulty with fine hand movements or walking (myelopathy symptoms)
  • Neck pain following injury or accident
  • Pre-surgical planning for cervical disc surgery
  • History of cancer with new neck symptoms (to exclude metastases)

Preparation

  • No fasting required for non-contrast studies
  • Remove jewellery, earrings and metal from the neck and head area
  • Inform us of any metal implants or previous neck surgery
  • Scan duration: 30–40 minutes

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Arm pain, tingling or weakness from the neck (brachialgia/radiculopathy) is most commonly caused by a disc pressing on a nerve root. MRI identifies the level and severity of compression, which guides your doctor on whether conservative management or surgery is needed.
Cervical myelopathy is compression of the spinal cord in the neck — causing symptoms such as difficulty walking, clumsiness, hand weakness and bowel/bladder symptoms. MRI is essential for diagnosis and can show the level of cord compression and any cord signal changes.
Yes. MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves — no radiation. Inform us of any metal implants, pacemakers or cochlear implants before scanning.
Reports are typically delivered same day, personally signed by Dr. Avinash Bansal — MSK Imaging Fellow and FMF (UK) certified radiologist.
