Brain MRI in Prague

A 3 Tesla MRI brain scan at Klinika JL delivers detailed images of brain tissue, blood vessels, the pituitary gland, visual and auditory pathways in a single session using Philips high-field technology. The scan uses gadolinium contrast agent administered intravenously, which highlights abnormal areas including tumours, inflammations and vascular malformations that would be difficult to detect on a native scan. Klinika JL operates seven days a week from 07:00 to 21:00 — booking within days rather than the weeks-long waits common at hospital radiology departments. Referrals from any doctor, including foreign physicians, are accepted for self-pay patients. Findings are reported by a qualified radiologist and shared digitally within 14 days; images transfer free via ePACS or Redimed networks.

MRI Brain with Angiography combines a standard brain parenchyma study with MR angiography (MRA) in a single session on Klinika JL's Philips 3 Tesla scanner. MRA maps the intracranial arteries and veins without the need for arterial catheterisation, showing the calibre, course and wall integrity of the cerebral vessels. This combined protocol is the first-line investigation for suspected aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, carotid stenosis and other cerebrovascular conditions where the anatomy of both brain tissue and its blood supply needs to be assessed together. Gadolinium contrast is required. The clinic runs seven days a week until 21:00, allowing prompt imaging when a vascular referral is urgent.

The MRI epilepsy protocol at Klinika JL is a dedicated high-resolution neuroimaging study optimised to detect structural causes of seizure disorders — cortical dysplasias, hippocampal sclerosis, low-grade tumours and other subtle lesions that standard brain MRI sequences may miss. The Philips 3 Tesla scanner acquires thin-slice coronal sequences through the temporal lobes at the orientation best suited to the hippocampus, plus high-resolution volumetric data enabling 3D reconstruction. A fixed self-pay price of 12,000 Kč with a 14-day report turnaround and seven-days-a-week availability allows neurologists and epileptologists to arrange pre-surgical evaluation efficiently.
