What can an MRI of the head reveal?

MRI of the head can be used to examine cerebrovascular disease, intracranial infection, degenerative encephalopathy, cerebral white matter lesions, intracranial tumors and other diseases.
1. Cerebrovascular lesions: cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, smog disease, aneurysm and so on.
2. Intracranial infections: encephalitis and meningitis caused by viral and bacterial infections, as well as cysticercosis caused by parasitic infections.
3. Degenerative encephalopathy: such as primary cerebellar atrophy, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s syndrome, Huntington’s chorea and so on.
4. Cerebral white matter lesions: such as multiple sclerosis, optic neuromyelitis optica, diffuse sclerosis, myelin sheath developmental disorders and so on.
5. Intracranial tumors: such as glioma, meningioma, pituitary tumor and so on.
If patients have any discomfort, they should actively go to the hospital, complete the examination to make a clear diagnosis, and actively treat under the guidance of the doctor.
