MRI BRAIN WITH AND WITHOUT CONTRAST
An MRI Brain With and Without Contrast is a detailed brain scan using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), performed both before and after injecting a contrast agent (usually gadolinium-based). What’s the Difference Between "With" and "Without" Contrast? Without Contrast (Non-contrast MRI): Captures baseline images of the brain. Useful for detecting strokes, bleeding, structural abnormalities, and large tumors. Doesn’t require an injection. With Contrast (Contrast-Enhanced MRI): Uses gadolinium contrast injected into a vein. Enhances visibility of tumors, infections, inflammation, blood vessel issues (like aneurysms), and multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. Helps distinguish between old and new abnormalities. Why Is It Ordered? A doctor may order an MRI Brain With and Without Contrast to: Check for brain tumors and assess their size & spread. Detect multiple sclerosis (MS) and track disease progression. Identify infections, abscesses, or inflammation. Evaluate stroke or blood vessel abnormalities (like aneurysms). Investigate unexplained headaches, seizures, or neurological symptoms.
