A lumbar spine MRI is a medical imaging scan that takes detailed pictures of the lower back area using magnetic fields and radio waves, without using radiation. Your doctor might recommend this scan if you're experiencing lower back pain, numbness, weakness, or other symptoms to help identify what might be causing them. During the procedure, you'll lie still on a table that slides into a tunnel-shaped machine, and you may hear loud humming or knocking sounds while the images are being taken, which typically takes 30-45 minutes.
