MRI & MRA OF BRAIN & NECK VESSEL Price in Bangladesh

What is MRI & MRA OF BRAIN & NECK VESSEL?

MRI & MRA of the brain and neck vessels is an advanced imaging procedure that provides detailed views of both the brain's structure and the blood vessels in the brain and neck. MRI evaluates brain tissue, helping diagnose conditions like tumors, strokes, and neurodegenerative diseases.

MRA (Magnetic Resonance Angiography) focuses on the blood vessels in the brain and neck, identifying blockages, aneurysms, stenosis, or other vascular abnormalities. During the test, you will lie still in an MRI scanner, and a contrast dye may be injected to enhance the images.

No special preparation is typically required, but fasting may be recommended if contrast is used. Risks include allergic reactions to the contrast dye and mild discomfort from being in a confined space.

This combination provides valuable information for diagnosing both structural and vascular issues in the brain and neck.

What to expect & how to prepare

An MRI scanner uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves — not X-rays — to build detailed images of soft tissue. You lie still inside the scanner while it makes loud knocking noises; ear protection is provided.

• Metal and implants: tell the centre before your appointment about any pacemaker, defibrillator, cochlear implant, aneurysm clip, insulin pump, metal fragment or recent surgery — some implants make MRI unsafe.
• Belongings: you will remove watches, jewellery, cards, hairpins and anything metallic, and you may be asked to change into a gown.
• Fasting: routine MRI needs no fasting. Fasting is only needed for certain contrast or abdominal studies, and the centre will tell you when it applies.
• Duration: an MRI usually takes longer than an X-ray — ask the centre how long your scan is scheduled for.

MRI uses no ionising radiation. If a contrast injection is planned, tell the staff about kidney disease, previous contrast reactions, allergies, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Performed by a radiology team, normally on a doctor's request with a clinical question.
