MRI for Thoracolumbar in Hyderabad
The thoracolumbar region of the spine is where the spine of the upper body meets the section of the spine of the lower body. The upper or thoracic spine segment is more rigid. In contrast, the lumbar or lower part of the spine allows for more significant movement—the region of transition in the vertebral column. The vertebral column consists of the long hard bones that go vertically down your back and are located just above the lower back.
