For adult patients experiencing chronic headaches, dizziness, or cognitive changes, an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is the definitive tool for gaining diagnostic clarity. It provides a high-contrast, detailed map of the brain’s soft tissues, allowing specialists to pinpoint causes that might otherwise remain hidden.
Chronic Headaches: MRI is used to rule out structural triggers such as tumours, cysts, or vascular malformations (abnormalities in the blood vessels) that can cause increased intracranial pressure.
Dizziness & Balance: The scan focuses on the posterior fossa, examining the cerebellum and brainstem for signs of inflammation, lesions, or nerve compression that may disrupt equilibrium.
Cognitive Changes: To investigate memory loss or confusion, MRI detects atrophy (shrinkage) in the hippocampus or small vessel disease, which presents as changes in the brain's white matter.
By utilising powerful magnets and radio waves rather than ionising radiation, MRI offers a safe and precise way to visualise the brain, helping clinicians to tailor a specific treatment plan.
