FAQs

Can MRI Brain with Whole Spine Screening help diagnose MS?

MRI provides important evidence for the diagnosis of MS, but MRI alone does not establish the diagnosis in every patient. Doctors consider clinical history, neurological examination, MRI findings, and sometimes additional laboratory or cerebrospinal fluid testing.

Do I need any preparation before the examination?

Preparation depends on the protocol. If contrast is planned, inform the MRI team about kidney disease, previous contrast reactions, pregnancy or possible pregnancy, metallic implants, pacemakers, and other implanted medical devices.

Will I need additional tests after the MRI?

Depending on the findings, your doctor may recommend cerebrospinal fluid analysis, blood tests, neurological assessment, additional MRI, or other investigations to establish the diagnosis or assess disease activity.

Who may need MRI Brain with Whole Spine Screening – MS Protocol?

This examination may be recommended for patients with neurological symptoms suggestive of multiple sclerosis, such as unexplained weakness, numbness, visual disturbances, balance problems, coordination difficulties, or recurrent neurological episodes. It may also be used in patients with known MS for disease assessment.

What are the advantages of MRI Brain with Whole Spine Screening – MS Protocol?

It provides a comprehensive evaluation of the brain and entire spinal cord using a dedicated MS imaging protocol, helping identify and assess demyelinating lesions, evaluate their distribution, establish a baseline, and monitor changes over time, supporting appropriate diagnosis and clinical management.
