Brain MRI (1.5T)

High-resolution 1.5 Tesla MRI of the brain on GE Creator scanner. Detects structural abnormalities, tumours, stroke changes, and degenerative conditions. Appointments typically available within 1-2 days.

The brain MRI at Újbuda Medical Center uses the GE Creator 1.5 Tesla scanner to produce detailed multi-planar images of the cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum, brainstem, and posterior fossa. The standard protocol includes T1-weighted, T2-weighted, FLAIR, and diffusion-weighted sequences covering axial, sagittal, and coronal planes. At 49,500 HUF (approximately €125), this represents strong value for a 1.5T brain MRI in a European capital. The GE Creator platform delivers clinical-grade image quality for detecting space-occupying lesions, ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke, white matter disease, hydrocephalus, and congenital anomalies. The FLAIR sequence is particularly sensitive to periventricular lesions associated with multiple sclerosis and small vessel disease. For patients requiring vascular assessment, a combined brain plus intracranial MR angiography package is available at 64,500 HUF. Contrast-enhanced brain MRI using gadolinium is offered at 88,000 HUF for tumour characterization, infection, and inflammatory conditions. Appointments are typically available within 1-2 business days, making this an accessible option for medical tourists visiting Budapest.
