MRI Brain – Contrast may be recommended for patients with suspected or known brain tumors, unexplained neurological symptoms, infections, inflammation, demyelinating disorders, pituitary abnormalities, cranial nerve conditions, or postoperative concerns.

Do I need any preparation before the examination?
