Spinal cord infarction

Musculoskeletal & Spine
Blood Vessels & Circulation

A spinal cord infarction happens when blood supply to part of the spinal cord is interrupted, causing tissue damage. It can develop suddenly or gradually and may cause neurological symptoms. An MRI may show signal changes in the spinal cord consistent with a loss of blood supply. Identifying a spinal cord infarction allows for investigation into the underlying vascular cause and management that may help prevent further events.

SCReening explained
It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
