While both can provide detailed images of the spine, they do so in different ways. An x-ray uses
radiation to create images of the bones and structures of the spine, while an MRI uses magnetic fields
and radio waves to create detailed images of the soft tissues, such as the spinal cord and nerves.
Like all procedures that involve exposure to radiation, there's a very small risk that the x-ray could
cause damage to cells or tissues. However, the amount of radiation you're exposed to during an x-ray is
usually very low, and the benefits of the test typically far outweigh any potential risks.
A typical spinal x-ray takes about 15 to 30 minutes, but the exact length of the procedure can vary
