MRI Neuro Imaging (Structural & Functional) at Madras Scans & Labs

Madras Scans & Labs offers advanced MRI Neuro Imaging, including both structural and functional studies, for precise diagnosis and evaluation of brain and nervous system disorders.

1. Structural MRI Neuro Imaging

• Purpose: Provides detailed anatomical images of the brain and spine.

• Applications:

  • Detects tumors, cysts, and vascular abnormalities (AVMs, aneurysms).

  • Evaluates stroke, hemorrhage, and ischemic changes.

  • Assesses degenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s).

  • Diagnoses multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injuries.

• Techniques Used:

  • T1 & T2 Weighted Imaging – Differentiates tissues based on relaxation times.

  • FLAIR (Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery) – Highlights lesions near CSF spaces.

  • SWI (Susceptibility Weighted Imaging) – Detects microbleeds and iron deposits.

  • Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) – Identifies acute stroke and cytotoxic edema.

2. Functional MRI (fMRI)

• Purpose: Maps brain activity by detecting changes in blood flow (BOLD signal).

• Applications:

  • Pre-surgical planning for brain tumors and epilepsy.

  • Studies cognitive functions (memory, language).

  • Research on psychiatric disorders (depression, schizophrenia).

• Techniques Used:

  • Resting-State fMRI – Assesses brain networks in a non-task state.

  • Task-Based fMRI – Evaluates brain response to specific stimuli.

Advanced Neuro MRI Techniques at Madras Scans & Labs:

• MR Spectroscopy (MRS) – Analyzes brain metabolism (tumors, neurodegenerative diseases).

• Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) – Maps white matter tracts (useful in stroke, TBI).

• Perfusion MRI – Measures blood flow in brain tissues (tumor grading, stroke assessment).
