MRI Cisternography Head
MRI Chest with Contrast is an advanced diagnostic imaging procedure that provides highly detailed views of chest structures using magnetic resonance technology enhanced by a contrast agent. This sophisticated scan offers exceptional visualization of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, chest wall, and surrounding tissues. The addition of contrast material allows for better detection of abnormalities, inflammation, and tumors within the chest cavity. The procedure is particularly valuable for evaluating cardiac function, assessing blood flow patterns, and detecting various chest pathologies. Unlike traditional X-rays or CT scans, this method doesn’t use ionizing radiation, making it safer for repeated examinations while providing superior soft tissue detail.

What is MRI Cisternography Head?
This specialized MRI technique uses specific pulse sequences to highlight the cerebrospinal fluid spaces in the brain. It provides detailed images of the subarachnoid spaces, ventricles, and cisterns without requiring intrathecal contrast material. The procedure is particularly useful for evaluating CSF leaks, flow dynamics, and anatomical relationships between fluid spaces and surrounding brain structures. This non-invasive approach offers superior visualization of subtle abnormalities that might affect CSF circulation and brain function.
How Cisternography Works
The examination process includes:
– Specialized MRI sequences
– 3D reconstruction techniques
– Flow-sensitive imaging
