Cerebral MRI uses a magnetic field to produce clear pictures of the brain. A person is positioned on a table that slides into the machine, and a coil (specialized antenna device) may be placed around your head. You must lie very still during the scan, because movement can distort the images and decrease their quality. MRI does not use ionizing radiation, but it does have a strong magnetic field that can cause discomfort by pulling on metal objects such as pens, keys and jewelry. It is important to tell the medical staff if you are wearing any type of metal because it can distort the images.Read more:https://biomedscan.ro/rmn-cerebral/

The brain has six lobes: the frontal, parietal, limbic, occipital, and insular lobes. These lobes are involved in many functions such as memory, sight and speech. The occipital lobe, located in the back of the brain, is involved in vision. The insular lobe is a part of the basal ganglia, which controls the body’s balance and movement. The frontal lobe, situated at the very top of the cerebral cortex, is involved in language and emotions.

Inside the Mind: A Deep Dive into the World of Cerebral MRI

The white matter is a bundle of nerve fibers connecting the different parts of the brain. MR imaging of the brain is useful in showing these fiber tracts, and it can detect abnormalities in this area. The genu, premotor, sensory-motor, and visual-motor tracts are the most important for identifying abnormalities in this region. Our study found that the majority of infants with white-matter damage (54%) were born after 34 weeks, suggesting that their brain lesions could not have been caused by obstetric factors.
