A magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain that produces highly detailed cross-sectional pictures of brain tissue, blood vessels and surrounding structures without using ionising radiation. At ST Medical the head MRI is performed by experienced radiographers and reported by a radiologist, with options for contrast enhancement, dedicated angiography of the cerebral vessels, and focused sequences of the pituitary gland or orbits. It is commonly requested for the investigation of headaches, neurological symptoms or follow-up of known findings.
About this treatment
Magnetic resonance imaging of the head uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves, rather than X-rays, to build cross-sectional images of the brain, its blood vessels and the structures around them. Because it shows soft tissue in fine detail, a head MRI is widely used when a clinician wants to look closely at the brain, the pituitary region or the orbits, and the technique involves no ionising radiation. At ST Medical Clinic the scan is carried out by…
A standard head examination is performed without contrast, while a contrast-enhanced study uses an injected gadolinium-based agent to highlight certain tissues and vessels more clearly. The clinic also offers MR angiography, which maps the cerebral arteries, as well as focused protocols for the pituitary gland and the orbits. During the scan you lie still on a motorised table that moves into the cylindrical scanner; the machine makes loud knocking sounds,…
