Overview

What is MRI CisternogrAPhy?

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan test uses strong magnetic and radio waves to create detailed and clear 3D images. The MRI cisternogrAPhy is a radiation less test which creates images of the CSF. These images can be stored on an electronic device which can be printed on a film. The complete procedure takes about 40-60 minutes.
