Brain MRI generally refers to cranial magnetic resonance imaging examination, which can be generally used to detect patients with organic brain diseases, mainly including craniocerebral tumors, brain inflammation, cerebrovascular diseases and so on.
1. Craniocerebral tumor: Cranial magnetic resonance imaging examination can be used to check craniocerebral tumors, such as astrocytoma, pineal tumor, brain metastases, etc., and it can also be used to diagnose the benign and malignant nature of the tumor.
2. Brain inflammation: Different sequences of cranial magnetic resonance imaging can assist in determining the nature of abnormal signals in the brain. For example, patients with viral encephalitis can see cytotoxic edema lesions, and multiple sclerosis can see inflammatory demyelination changes.
3. Cerebrovascular diseases: Cranial magnetic resonance imaging examination can check whether the patient has cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and other diseases, and to a certain extent, assist in determining the period of occurrence of lesions.
In addition, cranial magnetic resonance imaging can also detect other diseases such as Wernicke’s encephalopathy. If patients feel discomfort in the head, it is recommended that they undergo a cranial magnetic resonance imaging examination under the guidance of a doctor to clarify their own conditions, early detection and early treatment.
