Self-pay MRI of one spinal segment (cervical, thoracic or lumbar) at Sagena Frýdek-Místek. The scan is the gold standard for diagnosing disc herniation, nerve root compression, degenerative disc disease, spinal canal tumours, vertebral metastases and inflammatory or degenerative disease of the spinal cord. Performed on Siemens 1.5T or 3T scanners with Deep Resolve AI, with self-pay appointments typically within 24–72 hours and a transparent per-segment price.
About this treatment
Back and neck pain are among the most common reasons for imaging, and MRI is the only modality that shows the intervertebral discs, nerve roots, spinal cord and surrounding soft tissues directly — without the radiation of CT. Sagena prices spine MRI transparently per segment: cervical, thoracic or lumbar, each 6,000 Kč, so a clinically targeted scan stays affordable while broader coverage can be combined as needed.
What it can show
disc bulges and herniations and whether they contact or compress a nerve root (the usual cause of sciatica or arm radiculopathy), spinal canal stenosis, degenerative endplate and facet changes, vertebral fractures including those hard to see on X-ray, inflammatory conditions such as spondylodiscitis, tumours within the spinal canal, vertebral metastases, and diseases of the spinal cord itself, including demyelination in multiple sclerosis.
