not sure this is the right section but you all seem pretty knowledgable,could anyone tell me what area a cirvical spine MR scan covers.from what ive read on the net its the neck.but dont state if its just the spinal colum or the whole neck from left to right. regards

Hi Patrick..this is an inner ear discussion forum but found this for you:

The cervical spine refers to the neck. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to create detailed image slices (cross sections) of the neck. MRI technology produces better soft-tissue images than X-rays, which allow the physician to accurately evaluate different types of body tissue including the spinal cord, vertebral disks and surrounding tissues, as well as distinguish normal, healthy tissue from diseased tissue.

They'll look at the entire neck region.

Best....Scott
