Test Code

An MRI brain with cisternography is an advanced imaging technique that combines a standard brain MRI with specialized imaging of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways and spaces. It's particularly useful for diagnosing conditions like CSF leaks (rhinorrhea, otorrhea), brain damage, and evaluating CSF flow and dynamics.

Non-invasive: It's a non-invasive procedure that doesn't require surgery.
Detailed images: MRI provides detailed images of the brain and CSF pathways.
High sensitivity: It can detect CSF leaks even when they are not active.
Low risk: It has a low risk of complications.
