MRI CV Junction

MRI CV Junction is a specialized imaging test used to assess the craniovertebral junction, the region where the skull base meets the upper cervical spine. It helps detect congenital anomalies, Chiari malformation, atlantoaxial instability, spinal cord compression, trauma, tumors, and inflammatory conditions. This scan provides detailed visualization of the brainstem, upper spinal cord, vertebrae, ligaments, and surrounding soft tissues. MRI CV Junction is commonly recommended for patients with neck pain, neurological deficits, balance problems, weakness, or suspected structural abnormalities. The test does not use radiation and may be performed with or without contrast depending on clinical findings.
