Brief Answer:
MRI does No detect nerve conduction

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up
I have gone through MRI but MRI detects only any structural defect in muscles and bones and does not detect the conduction defect in nerves which is the basic cause for tingling and numbness along the parts inervated by the particular nerve.
Thanks and Regards
