scan question from a layperson
When positioned as in picture (neck bent halfway forward) in GE's Signa SP/i 0.5T, will the scan include a view of the cervical spine from the back?

Will the scan be able to fully view the vertebras (from the back of the vertebras) that are tilted due to the neck bending forward?

(why the back: positional scoliosis suspected. suspected cause: asymmetric work of the suboccipital muscles, due to severed muscle connection/s)

 The patient has to actually be in the center of the magnet to be scanned. There's no way anyone could actually fit into the magnet in that position.

 We're talking about an open MRI, where a patient can be seated in the center of the device.

The actual position is the one shown in this image.
