Neuro Imaging
Neuro imaging refers to the use of advanced imaging techniques to visualize and assess the structure, function, and abnormalities of the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. Neuro imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing conditions such as stroke, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Frequently Asked Questions
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) provides detailed images of brain anatomy, soft tissues, and blood vessels without using radiation. CT (Computed Tomography) scans use X-rays to create cross-sectional images, providing information about bone structures, bleeds, and tumors.
Yes, neuro imaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans are generally safe and non-invasive. However, patients should inform their healthcare providers about any medical conditions, allergies, or implants (such as pacemakers) before undergoing imaging studies.
The duration of a neuro imaging procedure varies depending on the type of scan and specific imaging protocol. Generally, MRI scans can range from 30 minutes to an hour, while CT scans are typically shorter in duration.
Referrals for neuro imaging studies may be required depending on your healthcare provider or insurance policy. Our center can assist in coordinating referrals and scheduling appointments for neuro imaging evaluations.
