MRI Tractography Price in Bangladesh

What is MRI Tractography?

MRI tractography is a specialized imaging technique used to map the pathways of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord, providing detailed images of white matter tracts. It uses diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to track the movement of water molecules along nerve fibers, helping visualize the brain's connectivity.

This technique is valuable for studying conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, and traumatic brain injuries, as it can reveal disruptions in neural pathways. During the procedure, the patient lies on a table, and the head is positioned inside the MRI machine.

The scan is non-invasive and provides critical information about brain function and structure.

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.
