MRI BRAIN+FMRI(MOTOR & SPEECH)

Yes. A routine MRI primarily evaluates the structure and anatomy of the brain, while fMRI additionally maps brain activity associated with specific tasks.

Yes. It can provide important information for pre-surgical brain mapping, helping the medical team identify functional areas that may need to be preserved during surgery.

Usually, no special preparation is required. Inform the MRI team about metallic implants, pacemakers, previous surgeries, pregnancy or possible pregnancy, and other implanted medical devices. Follow any specific instructions provided by the imaging centre.

This examination may be recommended for patients with a brain tumor, lesion, vascular abnormality, epilepsy-related condition, or other brain abnormality located near areas responsible for speech, language, or movement. It is particularly useful when functional brain mapping is required before treatment or surgery.

Depending on the findings, your doctor may recommend additional MRI sequences, CT, neurological assessment, neuropsychological testing, EEG, or consultation with a neurologist or neurosurgeon.
