Thanks to the good representation of the brain and nerves, MRI has established itself as one of the most important diagnostic procedures for these areas of the body.
Anatomical structures are accurately visualised. In this way, pathological changes, such as inflammations, scars, lesions, vascular dilatations (aneurysms) and narrowing (stenosis) as well as bleeding can be detected. And further: The examination not only provides information about structural changes, but also their causes.
An acute ischaemic stroke (“stroke”) for example, can be detected using so-called diffusion imaging as early as 20 minutes after the appearance of the first symptoms. And vascular occlusion can be visualised directly using MR angiography. This is the precondition for a quick and successful therapy, which must begin within the first few hours.
Our state-of-the-art 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner sets new standards in particular in neurological imaging. The outstanding image quality shows details that previously remained hidden. Very discrete pathological changes can also be discovered.
An MRI of the head allows pathological changes, such as inflammations, scars, lesions, vascular dilatations (aneurysms) and narrowing (stenosis) as well as bleeding to be detected. An acute ischaemic stroke (“stroke”) can be detected as early as 20 minutes after the appearance of the first symptoms.
