MRI BRAIN + ANGIOGRAM

MRI Brain + Angiogram Scan

MRI Brain + Angiogram is an advanced diagnostic imaging test used to evaluate the brain and blood vessels together in a single scan. This test combines MRI Brain imaging with MR Angiography (MRA) to detect abnormalities in brain tissues, arteries, and veins without using radiation. It helps doctors identify neurological and vascular conditions accurately and safely.

At Focus Diagnostics Hyderabad, MRI Brain and Angiogram scans are performed using advanced MRI technology to provide high-resolution images for precise diagnosis. The test is commonly recommended for patients experiencing headaches, dizziness, stroke symptoms, weakness, vision disturbances, memory problems, or suspected blood vessel abnormalities in the brain.

Benefits of MRI Brain + Angiogram

• Provides detailed images of the brain and blood vessels
• Helps detect stroke, aneurysm, blockage, and vascular abnormalities
• Non-invasive and radiation-free procedure
• Early detection of neurological disorders
• Accurate evaluation of blood circulation in the brain
• Supports treatment planning and monitoring

Why Doctors Recommend This Test

Doctors recommend MRI Brain + Angiogram to investigate neurological symptoms and vascular conditions affecting the brain. The scan helps diagnose:

• Brain aneurysms
• Stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIA)
• Brain hemorrhage
• Blood vessel narrowing or blockage
• Brain tumors affecting circulation
• Chronic headaches and migraines
• Dizziness and fainting episodes
• Memory and neurological disorders

This test is especially useful for patients with a family history of stroke or vascular disease.

Preparation Before the Test

• Wear comfortable clothing without metal objects
• Remove jewelry, watches, hearing aids, and metallic accessories
• Inform the radiologist if you have implants, pacemakers, or metal devices
• Patients may be asked to avoid eating for a few hours if contrast is used
• Inform the doctor about pregnancy or kidney problems before the scan

The procedure is painless and usually takes around 30 to 60 minutes.

Normal Reporting Time

MRI Brain + Angiogram reports are generally available within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the complexity of the study and specialist review.

Who Should Take This Test

This test may be recommended for:

• Patients with severe or recurring headaches
• Individuals with stroke symptoms
• Patients with dizziness or balance problems
• People with suspected aneurysms or vascular disorders
• Patients with sudden weakness or numbness
• Individuals with vision disturbances or seizures
• Patients undergoing neurological evaluation

MRI Brain + Angiogram plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis of brain and vascular conditions, helping doctors provide timely and effective treatment.
