Test Code

An MRI brain with perfusion is a specialized type of MRI that assesses blood flow and oxygen levels in the brain, providing insights into brain function and potential issues like stroke or tumors. It uses MRI techniques to visualize cerebral blood volume, cerebral blood flow, and mean transit time, helping to identify areas of increased or decreased activity.

Why it's done:
Perfusion MRI is used to evaluate various conditions, including:
- Acute stroke: To assess the extent of damage and identify areas of compromised blood flow (ischemic penumbra).
- Brain tumors: To determine the grade and location of the tumor, and to guide biopsy procedures.
- Other conditions: Including vasculopathies, vasospasm, and some neurodegenerative diseases.
