We are moving and twisting around. Things can look and be very different when you are moving around as opposed to laying down. Also in the case of sensory nerves at least, neighboring nerves can get irritated and communicate with each other sending more pain signals. This may At least partially explain the widespread dermatomal pattern.

You are correct. I also had a sit down MRI of my Cervical but those sit down versions are not as clear as the lay down. Currently the gold standard for lay down's here in the US is 3 Tesla The sitdowns are around 1 Tesla.
