4 deliverables in this treatment
- 3 Tesla brain MRI with pre- and post-contrast sequences
- Intravenous gadolinium contrast agent
- Interpretation by a specialist radiologist
- Written report emailed within 72 hours
A contrast-enhanced 3 Tesla MRI of the brain in which a gadolinium agent is given through a vein partway through the scan to highlight areas of altered tissue, inflammation or abnormal blood-vessel patterns. It is typically chosen when a plain scan needs further characterisation or when closer assessment of a known finding is wanted. The online price already includes the contrast injection. The appointment runs longer than an unenhanced scan, and a specialist radiologist's report is emailed within 72 hours.
About this treatment
A contrast-enhanced MRI of the head combines a standard brain examination with an intravenous injection of a gadolinium-based contrast agent. The contrast travels in the bloodstream and can make certain tissues stand out more clearly, which is associated with improved detection and characterisation of areas where the normal blood-brain barrier is disrupted. At Ultra MR the study is performed on a Siemens MAGNETOM 3 Tesla scanner and read by a specialist…
The examination is often selected when a previous unenhanced scan raised a question that needs further clarification, when a known finding is being monitored, or when the referring concern specifically calls for post-contrast imaging. First, unenhanced sequences are acquired; a small cannula is then placed in a vein and the contrast is administered before further sequences are taken. Because of the extra sequences and the injection, the appointment…
You should let the team know in advance about any kidney problems, prior reactions to contrast agents, asthma or the possibility of pregnancy, as these are reviewed before contrast is given. No fasting is normally required. The online price for this examination already includes the contrast agent, so there is no separate contrast surcharge. After the scan the cannula is removed and you can return to normal activities; staying well hydrated helps clear the…
