Accepted Answer

A radiologist will analyse the pictures. You will get a signed report from the radiologist, which will be sent to your primary care physician or referring physician, who will discuss the findings with you. You may also need a follow-up test.

Question 7

What are the benefits of conducting an MRI Brain With Contrast Test?

Accepted Answer

The prominent benefits that are associated with this test include –

MRI is a non-invasive imaging technology that does not need the use of radiation to be effective.
Neuroimaging (MRI) may assist clinicians in evaluating the anatomy of the brain, and in certain situations, it can also give functional information (fMRI).
MR pictures of the brain and other cranial structures are crisper and more detailed than those obtained using conventional imaging techniques. Because of this detail, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a crucial tool in the early detection and assessment of a wide range of disorders, including cancers.
Compared to conventional imaging modalities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may reveal abnormalities that would otherwise be missed.
The gadolinium contrast material used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is less likely than the iodine-based contrast materials used in x-rays and CT scanning to elicit an allergic response.

Question 8

Is it possible to detect a brain tumor with an MRI without contrast?

Accepted Answer

CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head, with and without contrast material, are routinely utilised for the initial diagnosis of brain tumors. Brain cancers may be detected using standard T1- and T2-weighted MRIs with excellent sensitivity.

Question 9

Is it possible to tell if a tumor is cancerous based on an MRI?

Accepted Answer

Some tumors may be detected and pinpointed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan with contrast dye is the most effective method of detecting brain and spinal cord malignancies. In addition, doctors may sometimes identify whether a tumor is cancerous or not by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Question 10

Is MRI Brain with Contrast safe?

Accepted Answer

Gadolinium, the contrast agent used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is regarded safe for the majority of individuals despite the minimal risk of adverse effects and allergic responses. The use of contrast in an MRI for pregnant women and those with renal illness, on the other hand, might produce catastrophic complications.

Question 11

What are the limitations of the MRI Brain with Contrast Test?

Accepted Answer

Some common limitations recognised during the general MRI Brain with Contrast Test are as under:

High-quality photographs are dependent on your ability to maintain absolute stillness and adhere to breath-holding instructions while the images are being captured and processed. If you are worried, disoriented, or have insignificant pain, it may be difficult for you to remain still throughout the imaging procedure.
   Someone may have difficulty fitting into some MRI equipment. This is because the scanners are limited in their ability to accommodate large objects.
   Obtaining good photographs of implants and other metallic items may be challenging when working with metal. However, a similar effect may be achieved by moving the patient.
   The clarity of photographs may be compromised if the heartbeat is very erratic. This is because certain imaging modalities time the image depending on the heart’s electrical activity.

Question 12

What might affect MRI Brain with Contrast Test results?

Accepted Answer

Some things may cause burns or become dangerous projectiles if they come into contact with the magnetic field of the MRI machine. The following products are examples of such goods:

Jewelery, watches, credit cards, and hearing aids,all of which may be harmed by damaged pins, hairpins, metal zippers, and other similar metallic objects, which can cause MRI pictures to be distorted.
   Disposable dental work pens, pocketknives, and eyeglasses are examples of such items.
   Piercings on the body
   Mobile phones, electronic watches, and tracking devices are examples of such devices.

Question 13

What is the purpose of a blood test before an MRI?

Accepted Answer

Depending on whether your MRI may need the injection of a contrast agent, blood tests may be required before your MRI to ensure that your kidneys are functioning properly. If you have claustrophobic anxiety or feel discomfort while resting on your back, inform your doctor before the day of your MRI appointment.

Question 14

How long does it take to get a brain MRI with contrast?

Accepted Answer

An MRI procedure takes between 30 and 60 minutes on average. If a contrast agent is used, the examination may take longer

Question 15

What is the difference between contrast and non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)?

Accepted Answer

The fundamental difference between contrast and non-contrast MRIs is that a dye (gadolinium-based) is administered intravenously to the patient before the scan. Non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent alternative for people for whom dye is not indicated, pregnant women, and patients with renal disease.
