Spondylosis Glossary

CT scan - Computerized Tomographic Scan It is an advanced method of scanning a body region in thin sections using X-ray radiation. This is more useful in examining bony tissues.

MRI - Magnetic resonance imaging is an advanced method of scanning, which does not use X-ray radiation to scan tissues. It is useful for soft tissue scanning.

EMG - Electromyography is a test used to diagnose impaired muscle strength.
