Has to be a good MRI. Fat suppression, T1, T2, STIR sequences. Here is some good basic information -

Also, will need a good referral from advising physician. Not much good asking for MRI of spine ! Needs to indicate `what` is being looked for ! In addition, best to image the whole spine, cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum then, sacroiliac. Get the whole thing. Yes, a tad on the expensive side...not too many physicians will call it *all up, or, having called, the radiology dept (or hospital) may refuse a couple, or one section, of.
Suggest that you go back and find out what was ordered up and what was done !
