Peranan Sekuens Dixon pada Pemeriksaan MRI Cervical dengan Klinis Hernia Nucleus Pulposus di Instalasi Radiologi Rumah Sakit Pusat Pertamina Jakarta Selatan

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic examination modality in medicine using a magnetic field without using X-rays, MRI has the advantage of being able to create images and can show clearer and more sensitive anatomical differences in soft tissues in the body such as the brain,Bone marrow and musculoskeletal. An MRI machine can produce diagnostic images of the inside of the human body, both in sagittal, coronal and transverse sections, without using ionizing radiation (X-rays) and also without using radioactive substances, but based on the principle of magnetic resonance of the hydrogen atom to reveal anatomy and pathology. clinical diagnosis, one of which is Hernia Nucleus Pulposus in the Cervical vertebrae. Hernia  Nuecleus pulposus is a condition of biochemical ad physical changes in the spinal disc tissue caused by degeneration in old age,or acute external pressure that causes a bulge into the spinal canal,putting pressure on the durameter or nerve roots, thereby triggering symptoms of neurological pain. The use of the Dixon sequence was proposed for the assessment of metaphyseal bone marrow water water content,with a short scan time. Dixon sequence imaging can be used for fat suppression in the extremities and spine, but also quantification of fat in the bones..
The research method used is descriptive research with an observation approach. Data collection was carried out from 01 January 2022 to 28 February 2023 using a Mr. Philips aircraft with a power of 3 Tesla. The sample of patients used in this study were 5 patients with vertebral complaints. Data collection was carried  out  through observation,interviews and documentation.
