MRI and MRA of the head, along with MRA of the neck, are used to comprehensively evaluate the brain and blood vessels, allowing detailed assessment for conditions such as cerebral infarction, aneurysms, and arteriosclerosis.

Recommended For
• Individuals concerned about brain diseases such as stroke
• Those with a family history of stroke
• Individuals who wish to undergo regular brain checkups
• Those concerned about arteriosclerosis

Comprehensive MRI Examination from Brain to Neck
• A 1.5 Tesla MRI is used to perform diagnostic imaging of the entire head region, from the brain to the neck.

• Head MRI provides cross-sectional images of the intracranial area to detect signs of conditions such as cerebral infarction, brain tumors, and encephalitis.
Head MRA creates detailed three-dimensional images of the cerebral blood vessels, enabling evaluation of vascular narrowing, blood flow abnormalities caused by infarction, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and cerebral aneurysms.

• Neck (cervical) MRA generates detailed three-dimensional images of the cervical blood vessels and assesses the degree of arteriosclerosis in the carotid arteries, which is a major risk factor for stroke.
