Precision Diagnostics

MRI provides detailed soft-tissue imaging without radiation, making it the gold standard for evaluating the spine, spinal cord, discs, and nerve roots. It is typically the first advanced imaging study ordered for patients with spine or neurological symptoms.

• Disc herniation and degeneration
• Spinal stenosis
• Nerve root compression
• Tumors of the spine or spinal cord
• Post-operative assessment

CT scanning provides cross-sectional imaging with excellent bony detail, making it valuable for assessing fractures, bony anatomy, and surgical planning. CT is often used in conjunction with MRI or when MRI is not available.

• Spinal fractures and instability
• Bony stenosis and foraminal narrowing
• Surgical planning and implant sizing
• Post-operative hardware assessment

EMG and nerve conduction studies assess the electrical activity of muscles and the speed of nerve signals. These tests help localize nerve or muscle dysfunction and are particularly valuable for distinguishing between spinal and peripheral nerve conditions.

• Cervical or lumbar radiculopathy
• Carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndrome
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Severity and duration of nerve injury
