Many patients feel anxious about getting an MRI after spine surgery, especially if metal screws, rods, or implants were used. This confusion often leads to unnecessary fear or delayed investigations.

In this video, Dr. Zahir Abbas Merchant, Spine Surgeon, explains whether MRI is safe after spine surgery and what patients need to know.

Most modern spine implants are made from MRI-compatible materials, making MRI scans safe in the majority of cases. However, safety depends on:
✅ The type of implant used
✅ The time elapsed after surgery
✅ The area being scanned
✅ Proper communication with the radiology team

MRI after spine surgery helps doctors:
Check nerve compression or healing
Evaluate persistent pain or numbness
Detect scar tissue, infection, or complications
Plan further treatment if needed

It’s important to always inform your doctor and MRI technician about your spine surgery before the scan. In some cases, alternative imaging or special precautions may be advised.

👉 Learn when MRI is safe, when caution is needed, and why proper guidance matters after spine surgery.
Because the right imaging at the right time supports safer recovery.

Watch now to clear your doubts and make informed decisions about your spine health.
