Brain MRI in Purnia, Bihar

What is a Brain MRI Scan?

A Brain MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is an advanced, non-invasive imaging test that uses high-strength magnetic fields (1.5 Tesla) and radio waves to generate microscopic, cross-sectional views of the brain, brainstem, cranial nerves, and cerebral blood vessels. Unlike CT scans, an MRI provides exceptional soft-tissue differentiation with zero ionizing radiation.

Who Needs a Brain MRI Scan? (Common Clinical Indications)

Your physician or consulting specialist may recommend this scan if you experience any of the following symptoms or conditions:

• Frequent, severe, or persistent unexplained headaches and migraines
• Suspected acute stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or sudden facial/limb weakness
• Epilepsy, unexplained seizures, fainting spells, or loss of consciousness
• Persistent dizziness, vertigo, unsteadiness, or balance problems
• Cognitive changes, sudden memory loss, or unexplained behavioural shifts
• Suspected intracranial brain tumours, cysts, or pituitary gland disorders
• Evaluation of multiple sclerosis (MS) or neurological infections

How to Prepare for Your Brain MRI Scan

Preparing for your examination is straightforward. Follow these clinical guidelines for an optimal, hassle-free scan:

• No fasting is needed for a routine plain brain MRI. You may eat, drink, and take your usual medications.
• If a Contrast Brain MRI (Gadolinium) is prescribed by your doctor, 3 to 4 hours of fasting and a recent Serum Creatinine blood test report are required to ensure kidney safety.
• Remove all metallic items: hairpins, jewelry, watches, spectacles, dentures, and metallic clothing zippers.
• Inform the technician if you have a cardiac pacemaker, aneurysm clip, cochlear implant, or metallic foreign bodies.

How Long Does the Scan Take?

The scan takes approximately 15 to 20 Minutes. You will lie comfortably on a cushioned scanning bed. Our technologist will provide earplugs or earphones with ambient music to ensure your comfort throughout the session.
