What is a MRI BRAIN+DIFFUSION+PERFUSION?

MRI Brain + Diffusion + Perfusion is a specialized MRI examination that combines structural, diffusion, and blood-flow imaging of the brain to evaluate stroke, ischemia, tumors, vascular abnormalities, and other neurological conditions, supporting accurate diagnosis, lesion characterization, and treatment planning.

FAQs

Can MRI Brain + Diffusion + Perfusion detect an acute stroke?

Yes. Diffusion imaging is highly useful for detecting acute ischemic changes, while perfusion imaging can provide additional information about cerebral blood flow and the extent of tissue at risk.

Is this examination different from a routine brain MRI?

Yes. A routine brain MRI primarily evaluates brain anatomy and structural abnormalities, whereas this examination adds diffusion and perfusion techniques to provide information about tissue characteristics and cerebral blood flow.

Do I need any preparation before the examination?

Preparation depends on the protocol and centre. If contrast is planned, inform the MRI team about kidney disease, previous contrast reactions, pregnancy or possible pregnancy, and medications or medical conditions. Follow any fasting instructions provided.

Will I need additional tests after MRI Brain + Diffusion + Perfusion?

Depending on the findings, your doctor may recommend CT, CT angiography, MR angiography, EEG, blood tests, PET-CT, biopsy, or consultation with a neurologist, neurosurgeon, or oncologist.

Who may need MRI Brain + Diffusion + Perfusion?

This examination may be recommended for patients with suspected or recent stroke, unexplained neurological symptoms, brain tumors, suspected brain ischemia, vascular abnormalities, or other conditions where assessment of brain tissue and blood flow is important.
