Hello,
I was wondering if I should get a t spine MRI?
I have had brain, c spine and all of the other tests but have never had the t spine.
I just want to cover my bases.
What symptoms usually show with lesions on the t spine?
thanks. Stay safe east coasters. I am in ct and have battened down the hatched.

Your doctor may also decide to scan the L-spine, not looking for lesions, but looking to see if lower limb symptoms could be the result of compression of the Cauda Equina, the horse tail nerves that go to the lower extremities.
MRI time is expensive, and doing MRIs that are not medically indicated drives up the patiet costs and increases the waiting times for MRIs. Most doctors order MRIs based on clinical indications and your insurance companies guide lines.
