Though lots of imaging modalities are there for the diagnosis of spinal tumours, which includes Plain Radiographs, Contrast Myelography, CT Scan, CT Myelography, none of the above-mentioned modalities are comparable to MRI in evaluation of spinal tumours.

Unlike Myelography or CT Myelography, MR does not require lumbar puncture and intrathecal contrast administration, hence is devoid of complications related to Myelography procedures and that related to the contrast materials.

CT myelography remains an alternative method when MRI is unavailable or cannot be used because of uncontrolled pain, patient size, implanted metallic objects, the inability to lay flat during the exam time, or severe claustrophobia.
