Full Spine MRI

The full spine MRI combines cervical, thoracic, and lumbar imaging into one continuous examination, providing a complete picture of the entire vertebral column from the craniocervical junction to the sacrum. This is the most efficient approach for patients with multi-level symptoms, diffuse spinal pain, or conditions that may affect multiple segments such as ankylosing spondylitis, diffuse disc disease, or suspected spinal cord pathology.

At 3T field strength, the scanner resolves fine anatomical detail in the spinal cord itself — not just the surrounding bony and disc structures. This is particularly valuable for detecting intramedullary lesions, demyelinating plaques, and subtle cord compression that may not be apparent on lower-field-strength imaging. The AI coils and post-processing pipeline maintain image quality across all three segments despite the extended field of view.

The scan represents a 20% discount compared to scanning all three sections individually (DKK 6,960 versus DKK 8,700). It is reviewed by a musculoskeletal radiologist who provides a segment-by-segment assessment of all vertebral levels. Patients with widespread back pain, suspected inflammatory spinal conditions, or those wanting a comprehensive spinal baseline as part of preventive screening typically choose this option.
