Know more about this test

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Brain test is a highly advanced, noninvasive, painless imaging technique that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create images of the brain and surrounding tissues. An MRI scan differs from a CT scan or an X-ray because it doesn’t use radiation to produce images. MRI Brain (MRI) screening helps detect several brain conditions, including aneurysms (bulging in the blood vessels of the brain), multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, hydrocephalus (a buildup of spinal fluid in the brain cavities), stroke, infections, tumors, cysts, swelling, hemorrhage, or bleeding, and inflammation. It also detects problems with brain development or structure (such as a Chiari malformation), blood vessel issues, or a head injury. It is available at an affordable price in Nagpur with our partnered labs.

Your doctor may also suggest the MRI Brain (MRI) test to investigate the cause of symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, seizures, changes in thinking or behavior, blurry vision, or chronic headaches. 

Before undergoing the MRI Brain (MRI) test, remove metal objects like metallic coins, jewelry, metal wristwatches, metallic keys, dentures, or hearing aids, as the MRI uses strong magnetic fields. Inform your radiologist about any metallic implants and let them know if you are pregnant.

Understanding MRI Brain (MRI)

The MRI Brain (MRI) helps detect several brain conditions, including aneurysms (bulging in the blood vessels of the brain), multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, hydrocephalus (a buildup of spinal fluid in the brain cavities), stroke, infections, tumors, cysts, swelling, hemorrhage, or bleeding, and inflammation, and head injuries. It also helps detect problems with brain development or brain structure and blood vessels. The doctor may also suggest an MRI Brain to investigate the causes of symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, seizures, changes in thinking or behavior, blurry vision, or chronic headaches.

Before undergoing the MRI Brain (MRI) test, remove metal objects like metallic coins, jewelry, metal wristwatches, metallic keys, dentures, or hearing aids, as the MRI uses strong magnetic fields and can pull on any metallic objects. Wear loose and comfortable clothing without metal fasteners. Inform the doctor about any pregnancy, medical history, allergies, medications, pacemaker, metal implants, etc., before going for an MRI test. If too claustrophobic or overweight to undergo a traditional closed MRI, discuss sedation or open MRI options (Open MRI machines have wider tunnels, which tend to be more tolerable) with the doctor.

An MRI scan differs from a CT scan or an X-ray because it doesn’t use radiation to produce images. Interpreting test results requires expert guidance. Always consult the doctor to ensure a proper understanding of the results.

What does MRI Brain (MRI) measure?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Brain is an imaging procedure that combines a large magnet, radio frequencies, and a computer to produce detailed brain images. 

The MRI Brain (MRI) test measures various aspects of the brain anatomy and function, including brain tissue density and volume, cerebral blood flow and oxygenation, water content and diffusion, white and gray matter integrity, lesions, tumors, or other abnormalities. It also measures brain activity and metabolism, blood-brain barrier integrity, cerebrospinal fluid flow, and dynamics. Additionally, it helps diagnose brain tumors, cysts, abscesses, hemorrhages, infections, stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, etc.

FAQs related to MRI Brain (MRI) in Nagpur

During the MRI Brain (MRI) test, you will be asked to lie on a table that moves into a sizeable tube-shaped machine. It’s important to stay still to get clear pictures. Anxious individuals who have trouble staying still might get some sedation. If required, a contrast dye will be injected through an IV to help show certain parts of your brain better. The machine makes loud banging noises during the procedure. You may be offered earplugs to block the MRI machine’s noises, or you may listen to music during the test.
After the test, you can leave the testing facility. If you were sedated for the MRI scan, the technician may move you to a recovery area until you wake up. A radiologist will analyze your MRI images and provide your doctor with the results. You can resume your normal activities immediately unless otherwise advised by your doctor.
There are no risks associated with an MRI itself. However, there is a rare chance of an allergic reaction to the contrast dye used during the procedure. If you have reduced kidney function, it is essential to inform the medical staff, as using contrast dye may not be safe in such cases.
MRI is generally considered safe during pregnancy. It uses radio waves and magnetic fields to create images, not radiation. However, it is important to inform your doctor or technician about your pregnancy before the MRI test.
