MRI Brain with Stroke Protocol

The MRI Brain with Stroke Protocol is a specialized and detailed imaging study used to evaluate the brain in patients with suspected or confirmed stroke. It uses advanced MRI sequences to identify early signs of ischemic stroke (caused by reduced blood flow) or hemorrhagic stroke (caused by bleeding in the brain). The protocol includes diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), gradient echo (GRE), and MR angiography, which help detect acute infarcts, old stroke lesions, microbleeds, and vascular abnormalities. This non-invasive test provides high-resolution images of brain tissue and blood vessels, allowing for accurate localization and extent of damage. It also helps differentiate stroke from other neurological conditions that may present with similar symptoms. MRI Brain with Stroke Protocol is essential for timely diagnosis, effective treatment planning, and monitoring of stroke progression or recovery.
