MRI & MRS of Brain Price in Bangladesh

What is MRI & MRS of Brain?

MRI & MRS of the brain is an advanced imaging procedure that combines two techniques to assess both the structure and metabolic activity of the brain. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) provides detailed images of the brain’s anatomy, helping diagnose conditions like tumors, strokes, or neurodegenerative diseases.

MRS (Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy) measures the chemical composition of brain tissues, assessing metabolites like choline, creatine, and N-acetylaspartate, which can help identify abnormalities such as cancer, infections, or metabolic disorders. During the procedure, you will lie still in an MRI scanner, and a contrast dye may be used to enhance the images.

Fasting is typically not necessary, though it may be required if contrast is used. Risks include allergic reactions to contrast dye and mild discomfort from staying still.

This combined approach offers a comprehensive view of both structural and metabolic brain health.

What to expect & how to prepare

MRI & MRS of Brain is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your MRI & MRS of Brain result rather than self-diagnosing.
