Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), specialized procedure: Magnetic resonance myelography

You had a MRT scan of your spinal cord and your spinal nerves.

An MRI scan involves creating disc-shaped images of the inside of the body. The scan involves the use of very large magnets.

The spine contains the spinal cord. The spinal cord is made up of nerve fibers. Individual nerve fibers emerge from the spinal cord and form nerves. The nerves leave the spine through small openings in the sides. Spinal nerves are the initial areas of nerves that emerge from the spinal cord.

Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
