A member asked:
Got an mri of my head today, also told tech that i have neck pain. scan took 20 mins. is it possible the neck is visible on the images?

No: This requires 2 separate studies. If your doctor did not specifically order an MRI of the neck, it was not done.

Usually not: The MRI of the brain usually does not include enough of the neck to be of value. If the pain is further down the neck, then an MRI of neck is needed
