MRI BRAIN WITH STROKE PROTOCOL
₹9000
Book MRI Brain With Stroke Protocol at an NABL- and NABH-accredited diagnostic centre, Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy. This type of specialized MRI test can be performed to look for abnormalities and strokes in the brain. Uses advanced sequences of the MRI to give detailed pictures of the tissues of the brain and the structures that show changes in blood flow. The scan can be used to help the doctors understand if there are any changes in the brain, including any damage to brain tissue or if the blood did not flow as it is supposed to during or after the stroke.
What is MRI Brain With Stroke Protocol?
MRI Brain With Stroke Protocol is an imaging exam performed by specialists to look at the brain to see if there are any changes there that might indicate stroke. It employs other MRI sequences such as diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to determine regions of brain tissue that may be affected by reduced blood flow. Depending on the imaging protocol, sequences may also be performed, such as ADC, FLAIR, and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI). The aim of these sequences is to assess variations in tissues, hematomas, and other complications of a stroke.
Common Reasons for MRI Brain With Stroke Protocol
- Sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arm, or leg
- Sudden difficulty speaking or understanding speech
- Sudden loss of vision or visual disturbances
- Sudden dizziness or loss of balance
- Suspected acute or recent stroke
- Evaluation of possible brain tissue damage
- Follow-up after a previous stroke
- Assessment of unexplained neurological symptoms
Conditions Evaluated
Ischemic Stroke
MRI may be able to detect affected areas of the brain caused by a lack or loss of blood flow. The advantage of DWI in the acute ischemic stroke is that it is especially sensitive to changes.
Haemorrhagic Stroke
Blood products can be detected with special MRI sequences and are useful in determining the nature of other types of brain bleeding.
Brain Tissue Changes
MRI allows close-up pictures of the tissues of the brain and evaluates regions of diminished blood flow and oxygen, swelling, and other structural changes.
Previous Stroke Changes
The exam may provide a test of older brain injuries and changes from an old stroke.
Other Brain Abnormalities
Depending on specific findings and sequences performed, MRI can also help determine the presence of other conditions that may have symptoms like stroke.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend an MRI Brain With Stroke Protocol if you have:
- Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body
- Difficulty speaking or understanding words
- Sudden vision problems
- Unexplained dizziness or loss of balance
- Suspected stroke or transient neurological symptoms
- A history of stroke requiring further evaluation
- Abnormal findings on a previous brain examination
Important: Sudden symptoms of stroke require immediate emergency medical attention. Do not delay treatment while waiting for an MRI appointment.

Test information: Usually, no fasting is required.
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
- Fasting is usually not required before the scan.
- Inform the doctor if you have any previous history of stroke, brain surgery, or other neurological conditions.
- Inform the MRI staff if you have a pacemaker, cochlear implant, metal implant, or any other metallic or electronic device in your body.
- Tell the medical team if you have kidney problems, allergies, or a history of reactions to MRI contrast, especially if contrast may be required.
- Remove all metallic objects, including jewellery, watches, hairpins, and removable accessories, before entering the MRI room.
- Inform the staff if you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant.
- Bring your prescription, previous MRI or CT scan reports, and relevant medical records, if available.
- Inform the staff if you have claustrophobia or difficulty remaining still during the scan.
- Important: If you experience sudden weakness, facial drooping, difficulty speaking, or sudden vision loss, seek emergency medical attention immediately. Do not delay emergency care to arrange a routine MRI appointment.
