MRI of the cerebral and neck vessels is a high-precision and non-invasive diagnostic method that allows detailed visualization of arteries and veins, enabling detection of aneurysms, thrombosis, stenosis, and other vascular pathologies without the use of ionizing radiation.
When is MRI of the cerebral and neck vessels required?
The examination is indicated for headaches, dizziness, fainting, and memory impairment. It is performed in cases of suspected cerebrovascular disorders, stroke, or transient ischemic attacks. MRI is used to diagnose aneurysms, vascular malformations, thrombosis, and stenosis, as well as in patients with an increased risk of atherosclerosis, varicose veins, and thrombophlebitis.
How is the examination performed?
The patient is positioned in a magnetic resonance scanner, where the vessels of the brain and neck are imaged. In some cases, a contrast agent is administered to improve visualization of vascular structures. The procedure lasts approximately 30–40 minutes, is painless, and does not involve radiation exposure.
Main advantages of MRI of the cerebral and neck vessels in Belarus
High diagnostic accuracy for vascular pathologies without the need for invasive procedures. Safety due to the absence of ionizing radiation. The ability to detect strokes, aneurysms, thrombosis, and other vascular disorders at early stages.
Belarusian medical centers are equipped with modern MRI systems that ensure detailed diagnosis of vascular pathologies. Experienced specialists perform examinations with precise interpretation of results.
