Diagnostic study using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) with contrast dye to assess the structure of the brain and analyze chemical composition in specific brain regions.
Follow specific instructions provided by the healthcare provider or imaging center, which may include fasting before the procedure.
Wear comfortable clothing suitable for the examination.
Inform healthcare team about any history of brain tumors, brain metabolism issues, treatment history, allergies, and medications. Mention any metal implants or devices.
Patient lies on an examination table, usually in a supine position.
Combination of MRI and MRS is used with the injection of contrast dye to capture detailed images of the brain and analyze chemical composition.
Varies based on the type of examination and the specific condition being assessed.
Patient may be able to resume normal activities after the examination.
Follow up with the healthcare provider for a detailed analysis of the MRI & MRS results and to discuss further treatment options.
Radiologist or healthcare provider analyzes images and spectroscopy data to assess the structure of the brain and analyze chemical composition in specific brain regions.
Results assist in diagnosing conditions related to brain tumors, assessment of brain metabolism, evaluation of treatment response, identification of abnormal brain tissue, and detection of biochemical changes in the brain.
It's important to discuss any concerns or questions about the MRI & MRS, Brain (Contrast Enhanced) study with your healthcare provider for personalized information based on your situation.
