Neck (Cervical Spine) MRI (with contrast)

This is a cervical spine MRI with gadolinium injected into a vein. In the neck the spinal cord runs through the bones being imaged, and contrast is what separates an active process inside the cord — inflammation, infection, tumor — from something that is merely pressing on it from outside.
