A member asked:

Dr discussed soft tissue neck mri tech said soft & spine were imaged, report was only spine. can look at same cd for soft tissues or need another mri?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, soft tissue can: Be seen on the same mri, generally speaking. Unless a specific soft tissue is being looked for, or to make it pronounced, one could get a contrasted study. The report usually states all the abnormal findings, including bony ; soft structures.
