MRI Brain and Spine

Clear Insight into Your Neurological and Spinal Health

When it comes to understanding problems related to the brain and spinal cord, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is one of the most advanced and accurate diagnostic tools available. At Atharv Diagnostic Center, we offer high-quality MRI Brain and Spine scans using advanced imaging technology, helping doctors diagnose neurological and spinal conditions with clarity and confidence.

What is an MRI Brain and Spine Scan?

MRI uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create highly detailed images of your brain and spinal structures—without any radiation. This test is essential for evaluating:

• Headaches, migraines, or seizures

• Stroke or mini-stroke (TIA)

• Multiple sclerosis (MS)

• Brain tumors or cysts

• Spinal disc issues like herniation or degeneration

• Injuries to the spine or spinal cord

• Infections, inflammation, or congenital abnormalities

• Nerve compression causing back or neck pain

• Unexplained weakness, numbness, or tingling

Why is MRI Important for Brain and Spine?

• Non-invasive and radiation-free: MRI is completely safe and does not use harmful radiation.

• Detailed imaging: Offers high-resolution images of soft tissues, including the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and discs.

• Early diagnosis: Helps detect conditions at an early stage, improving the chances of effective treatment.

• Guides treatment plans: Whether it’s for surgery, medication, or physiotherapy, an MRI gives doctors a precise roadmap.

What to Expect During the Scan

• The procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being scanned.

• You will be asked to lie still inside the MRI machine. It is open-ended but may feel narrow.

• Earplugs or headphones are provided to protect you from the loud tapping sounds made during the scan.

• If needed, a contrast dye might be injected to enhance image quality—especially for detecting tumors, inflammation, or blood vessel issues.

• The scan is painless, and you can return to your regular routine shortly after.
