A member asked:
What specific imaging test takes pics of the nerves coming out of (exiting) the spinal cord? i believe their called spinal nerve roots, not sure.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MRI (best) or CT: An MRI of the spine is the most accurate imaging test to evaluate the spinal cord and the nerve roots exiting the spinal canal. This is most often done without an injection of contrast, however there may be an indication for you to receive an injection of contrast with the MRI. As a Neuroradiologist I often discuss with and advise the referring physician regarding the need for contrast.
