Overview

MRI is useful to confirm the extent of disease spread and involvement of the surrounding soft tissue. Complete spine MRI must be obtained to rule out non-contiguous lesions. MRI is the diagnostic investigation of choice for spinal tuberculosis.

MRI

Findings on MRI to determine the extent of the disease include the following:[1][2][3][4]
