MRI of the brain is a high-precision diagnostic method that allows visualization of brain structures, blood vessels, and nerve tissues, and enables detection of pathologies at early stages. The examination is performed without X-ray radiation, using a magnetic field.
When is MRI of the brain required?
The examination is indicated in cases of headaches, dizziness, loss of consciousness, tinnitus, and memory impairment. It is used for suspected stroke, tumors, cysts, aneurysms, and multiple sclerosis. MRI is also performed after head injuries, in inflammatory processes, and vascular disorders, as well as for the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
How is the examination performed?
The patient is positioned inside a magnetic resonance scanner, where brain imaging is carried out. In some cases, a contrast agent is used to improve visualization of blood vessels and brain tissues. The procedure lasts approximately 20–40 minutes, is painless, and does not require special preparation.
