Understanding MRI Brain With Cv Junction With Contrast
What is MRI Brain With Cv Junction With Contrast?
A Brain Magnetic Resonance Imagining (MRI) with CV (craniovertebral) junction with Contrast creates a picture of the back of the head, the foramen magnum (hole in the base of the skull), the first two cervical vertebrae, and surrounding soft tissues. The contrast helps in increasing the visibility of the internal organs and hence improves the sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of the MRI scan.
This test is prescribed by the doctor to diagnose cranial nerve and vertebral arteries problems and to detect causes of congenital abnormalities from childhood.
