Understanding MRI Brain in Mumbai


What is MRI Brain in Mumbai?

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Brain test is a highly advanced, non-invasive, painless imaging technique that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create images of the brain and surrounding tissues. The MRI scan differs from a CT or an X-ray because it doesn’t use radiation to produce images. MRI brain 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, inflammation, problems with development or structure of the brain (such as a Chiari malformation), blood vessel issues or a head injury. It is available at an affordable price in Mumbai with our partnered labs.

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

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

What does MRI Brain 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 scan 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 or infections, stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, etc.
