Brain MRI in Glendale, California
Detailed neurological imaging on 3 Tesla MRI, for headaches, dizziness, memory changes, seizures and stroke evaluation. Radiation-free, with results to your physician in 24-48 hours.
What is a brain MRI?
A brain MRI uses a strong magnet and radio waves to image soft tissue, white matter, gray matter, the brainstem and blood vessels, with far more contrast than a CT scan can provide. Nothing about the exam involves radiation.
It is commonly ordered for persistent headaches, dizziness, seizures, memory or cognitive changes, stroke evaluation, or to follow a condition already known. At our Glendale center, every brain study is acquired on a 3 Tesla system so small lesions are easier to see.
