What is a MRI of the head and neck?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body. In many cases MRI gives information that cannot be seen on an X-ray, ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT) scan.
a MRI can evaluate headaches or blood flow or blood clots to the brain. It can also evaluate signs of a known or suspected head injury or diagnose stroke or blood vessel abnormalities. Problems with blood vessels may include an aneurysm or abnormally twisted, dilated blood vessels that are present at birth.
