MRI BRAIN PLAIN PROCEDURE

A brain (head) MRI scan is a painless procedure that yields extremely clear images of the internal structures of your head, primarily your brain.

Why is MRI Brain Plain Done?

It is used to diagnose and detect various problems such as

• Confirmation of stroke
• An abrupt alteration in the blood flow to a specific area of the brain  resulting occasionally in the loss of the capacity to move specific bodily parts.
• Assessment of tumor
• Headache
• Hemorrhage
• Traumatic brain injury

What is the procedure for MRI Brain Plain?

• For the MRI scan, you will change into a hospital gown.
• The patient is positioned on the MRI couch
• The Head coil is positioned over their head
• The patient is moved into the center of the magnet
• You'll hear the MRI scanner start-up and start making a variety of loud knocking and clicking noises as it starts capturing images. Each sound sequence could extend for several minutes. Before the operation starts, you will be given earplugs or headphones to wear to protect your hearing. Through the headphones, you might be able to listen to music as well.
• Sequences are acquired as per the scan
• For the finest possible image quality during the exam, it's crucial to maintain extreme stillness.
