Cervical Spine MRI

1.5T MRI of the cervical spine (C1-C7) for disc pathology, spinal cord compression, nerve root impingement, and degenerative changes causing neck and arm symptoms.

The cervical spine protocol at Help-MR provides detailed evaluation of the seven cervical vertebrae, intervertebral discs, spinal cord, and exiting nerve roots using the MAGNETOM Sola 1.5T. Standard sequences include sagittal and axial T1, T2, and STIR images optimised for the cervical region. This examination detects cervical disc herniations, foraminal stenosis, cervical spondylotic myelopathy, vertebral fractures, and facet joint disease. It is commonly requested for persistent neck pain radiating to the arms, post-whiplash evaluation, and pre-surgical assessment. At EUR 130 for the native study, this is well below typical pricing for cervical MRI in Western Europe. Contrast-enhanced cervical spine MRI is available at approximately EUR 230 for suspected tumour, infection, or inflammatory myelopathy. The full-spine package at EUR 380 covers cervical, thoracic, and lumbar sections in a single session for patients needing comprehensive evaluation.
