The MRI scan is an imaging test that allows physicians to assess a patientâs spinal anatomy and investigate an anatomical cause of the patientâs back pain. The physician will correlate the findings on the MRI scan with the patientâs signs and symptoms of back pain in order to arrive at a clinical diagnosis.
