MRI Scan for Brain stroke Protocol in Hyderabad

A stroke is an ischemic attack of the brain parenchyma. A vessel supplying a part of the brain can sometimes get blocked and lead to ischemia of the brain parenchyma. This ischemia then produces a variety of symptoms that can be transient or permanent. An MRI scan stroke protocol is used to identify the area and extent of the damage. 

The stroke protocol is a sequence of MRI scans to properly visualize an area of stroke. An MRI scan using multiple modes and variable sequences is more or almost as sensitive as the standard for stroke evaluation, a CT scan. The neurologist can use it to decide on the course for acute stroke.ngiography is an investigation to check the blood supply of a particular organ or part of the body. 

An upper limb angiography can be done to examine the blood supply to the upper limb, that is, the arm, forearm, and hand. Sometimes due to some diseases due to arteritis, thrombosis, plaque growths or injuries, the blood supply to the upper limbs might get compromised, and there might be pain or tingling sensation in such a limb. On rare occasions, the upper limb may also be gangrene after limb ischemia. The doctor can do an MRI Angiography scan to check the blood supply in such a limb to rule out alternative diagnoses and further treatment.
