Brain MRI

Targeted 3T MRI scan of the brain and intracranial structures, detecting tumours, vascular abnormalities, white matter lesions, and neurodegenerative changes. AI-enhanced imaging with specialist neuroradiology review.

The brain MRI at Progardia uses the full resolution advantage of the 3T Signa Architect to image intracranial anatomy at a level of detail that 1.5T scanners cannot match. The higher field strength doubles the signal-to-noise ratio, making it possible to detect small lesions, early white matter changes, subtle mass effects, and vascular anomalies that might be invisible at lower field strengths. AI post-processing further sharpens the images, particularly in regions prone to motion artefact near the skull base. The scan covers the entire brain parenchyma, cerebral and cerebellar hemispheres, brainstem, pituitary region, and the Circle of Willis vasculature. It is reviewed by a radiologist with neuroradiology expertise as part of Progardia's multi-specialist review model. The report covers structural abnormalities, space-occupying lesions, vascular findings, and any incidental observations that warrant follow-up. This scan is commonly requested by patients with a family history of neurological conditions, those experiencing unexplained headaches or cognitive changes, and individuals who simply want a neurological baseline as part of a broader preventive health strategy. No referral is required.
