MRI Brain-Head with and without Contrast
About Test
A head MRI is a valuable tool for detecting several brain conditions, including aneurysms or bulging in the brain's blood vessels. An MRI can also be used to identify signs of multiple sclerosis, stroke, injury to your spinal cord, fluid buildup in the brain, infections, tumors, cysts, and swelling. Your doctor may also request a brain MRI to confirm the diagnosis of hormonal disorders, such as acromegaly and Cushing's syndrome bleeding, inflammation problems with development, and blood vessel issues.
The choice of whether to have an MRI with or without contrast depends on the reason for the exam and the doctor's evaluation of the patient's medical history and symptoms. For some conditions, such as tumors or blood clots, a contrast-enhanced MRI may be necessary. On the other hand, for other conditions, a non-contrast MRI may be sufficient.
It's important to inform the doctor of any allergies or previous adverse reactions to contrast agents before the exam. The contrast used for MRI is typically administered intravenously and is generally considered safe for most people.
Overall, having both types of MRI in the same exam can provide a more complete picture of the brain and help with accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
