Although the decision to obtain magnetic resonance imaging in a patient with scoliosis should be based on both clinical and radiographic criteria, we suggest that a heightened index of suspicion is warranted with certain curve patterns (left thoracic, double thoracic, triple, and a long right thoracic curve with end vertebra caudal to T12), and with a high or low apex and/or end vertebra, especially in males and patients with a normal to hyperkyphotic thoracic spine.
