A member asked:
I'm going for an mri of my head and neck, but would they also scan my upper back and chest as long as they are in the machine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
THE SCAN IS A SEPARATE PROCEDURE FOR HEAD AND NECK IN ONE POSITION ONLY. AN MRI OF THE BACK AND CHEST ARE ALSO SEPARATE EXAMS I'M SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO SPEND 3-4 HOURS IN AN ENCLOSED TUBE. YOUR DOCTOR WILL SCHEDULE THE OTHER SCANS IF NECESSARY.
