Brain magnetic resonance (MRI)
Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and brain stem uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce high quality two- or three-dimensional images of brain structures without use of ionizing radiation (X-rays) or radioactive tracers. One advantage of MRI of the brain over computed tomography of the head is better tissue contrast, and it has less artifacts than CT when viewing the brainstem. MRI is also superior for pituitary imaging. It may however be less effective at identifying early cerebritis. In analysis of the fetal brain, MRI provides more information about gyration than ultrasound...
