A member asked:
Why would pain management dr ask for xray and mri on neck at same time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: The X-ray shows more boney issues where as the MRI is more for ligaments, tendon, and muscular issues. Also, some insurances will not pay for or approve the MRI if a general X-ray was not first performed. Best wishes.
