About this Scan

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the brain is a safe and painless test that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of the brain and the brain stem. It is widely used to diagnose conditions such as brain tumors, strokes, infections, and developmental anomalies.

Preparation & Guidelines

• Remove all metal objects and jewelry before the scan.
• Inform your technologist if you have any medical devices or implants like a pacemaker.
• Fasting is generally not required unless a contrast dye is to be administered.
