Hi,
As you are having pain from waist to leg and also tingling in feet. Basically, your symptoms are pertaining to nerve roots arising from lumbar and sacral region. Hence, I think that an MRI of lumbo-sacral spines is the preferred MRI for diagnosing your symptoms or complaints.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
