A member asked:
Is the vagus nerve seen on a cervical spine mri test? if so, if there is an issue with it, how can docs tell on the test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The vagus nerve is one of the cranial nerves, meaning it exits directly out of the brain and so would not be seen on a MRI of the cervical spine.
