Tumours can develop in or around the spinal cord and vertebrae. Some start in the spine while others spread from elsewhere in the body. An MRI may show changes in spinal structures consistent with a tumour. Finding a spinal tumour early may allow for treatment before it causes nerve damage or spreads further. MRI is the gold standard for assessing spinal tumours, providing detailed imaging of the spinal cord, nerve roots, and surrounding structures.
