MRI of Brachial Plexus Price in Bangladesh

What is MRI of Brachial Plexus?

MRI of the brachial plexus is an imaging procedure used to assess the network of nerves that control movement and sensation in the shoulder, arm, and hand. It helps diagnose conditions such as nerve injuries, tumors, inflammation, or disorders like brachial plexopathy, which can result from trauma, compression, or infections.

During the procedure, you will lie still inside an MRI scanner, and a contrast dye may be injected to enhance the clarity of the images, particularly for soft tissues. No special preparation is typically required, though fasting may be needed if contrast is used.

Risks are minimal but include allergic reactions to the contrast dye and mild discomfort from staying still. The results provide detailed information about the brachial plexus to guide diagnosis and treatment.

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.
