MRI – Neck Dynamic Study (Sleep Apnea) is an advanced imaging procedure that assesses the upper airway structures during different phases of breathing or simulated sleep conditions. It provides detailed visualization of the soft tissues of the neck, including the airway, tongue, soft palate, and surrounding muscles.

This test is particularly useful in identifying the exact site and cause of airway obstruction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It helps in treatment planning, including surgical interventions or other therapies. The procedure is non-invasive, safe, and does not involve radiation.

The purpose of this MRI – Neck Dynamic Study (Sleep Apnea) test is to:

• Evaluate airway obstruction during breathing or sleep
• Identify the site and cause of airway narrowing
• Assess soft tissues like tongue, soft palate, and throat muscles
• Diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
• Assist in treatment and surgical planning
• Monitor response to therapy
