A member asked:
If i had an mri and ct of my back about a month ago, would they have picked up if i had discitis?

Discitis: Sometimes it takes contrast to notice discitis. Did you have IV contrast with your mri.

Yes: If you suffer a localized infection of the disc space, disciitis, or a localized abscess, would almost certainly be seen on either cat or mri.
