Diagnopein MRI Cervical Extension Flexion Centre in Nanded

Why MRI Cervical Extension Flexion Is Important

The cervical spine often exhibits symptoms only when the neck is moving. A routine static MRI cannot capture such movement-related abnormalities. This is where MRI Cervical Extension Flexion becomes extremely important.

This test helps detect:

1. Dynamic cervical spine instability

2. Disc bulge or herniation appearing only during movement

3. Spinal canal narrowing during flexion or extension

4. Nerve root compression

5. Facet joint instability

6. Ligament laxity or tears

7. Symptoms of cervical spondylosis triggered by motion

Healthcare specialists prefer this study when a patient reports pain that worsens with neck motion. In Nanded, many spine specialists and orthopaedic doctors rely on this advanced imaging to plan accurate treatment.

Benefits of MRI Cervical Extension Flexion

1. Dynamic Evaluation:
   It provides a real-time picture of spinal movement, which is not possible with regular MRI scans.

2. Better Detection of Hidden Problems:
   Small disc bulges or spinal compression present only during movement can be detected.

3. Non-invasive & Radiation-Free:
   It is completely safe, painless, and does not use harmful radiation.

4. Improved Treatment Planning:
   Helps spine surgeons and neurologists understand the exact cause of motion-related pain, leading to better treatment outcomes.

5. Early Identification of Instability:
   Detecting cervical instability early helps prevent long-term neurological damage.

Because of these advantages, the MRI Cervical Extension Flexion test has become a preferred diagnostic tool in Nanded for patients with chronic or unexplained neck pain.

How is the MRI Cervical Extension Flexion Test Done?

The procedure is simple, comfortable, and performed under the guidance of MRI radiology experts:

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Initial Evaluation:
   The technologist explains the procedure and positions you comfortably on the MRI table.

2. Extension Position:
   Your neck is gently placed in an extended (backward bending) posture using soft positioning supports.

3. Flexion Position:
   After the first scan, your neck is positioned in a forward-bending (flexion) posture.

4. Multiple Image Acquisition:
   High-resolution images are taken in both positions to compare the movement of discs, spinal canal and nerves.

5. Radiologist Interpretation:
   A specialised radiologist analyses the images to detect any dynamic changes.

The entire process takes around 30 to 40 minutes and is completely painless.

Parameters Evaluated During MRI Cervical Extension Flexion

1. Disc height and disc movement

2. Spinal cord compression

3. Degenerative changes during movement

4. Intervertebral foramina narrowing

5. Alignment of cervical vertebrae

6. Ligament integrity (especially PLL & ligamentum flavum)

7. Facet joint movement

8. Cervical canal diameter in different positions

These parameters help identify even subtle abnormalities that routine MRIs may miss.
