Backache can result from a myriad of diseases. To manage the condition, the help of scans may be required. MRI scan is one of them. However, MRI scan is an expensive scan so requesting the test should be justified. The scan is done in suspicion of conditions like: 1) cord compression 2) cauda equina 3) infections 4) malignancy 5) acute fractures 6) inflammatory back diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis.
