Brain MRI with contrast (FLAIR sequence) in Atlas University Hospital

Brain MRI with contrast using the FLAIR sequence is a specialized diagnostic scan available at Atlas University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. This examination uses high-field magnets to create detailed images of the brain and nervous system. The medical team uses this diagnostic to identify issues in the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles.

Imaging Technology and Methods

The hospital operates a radiology department equipped with both 3 Tesla (3T) and 1.5 Tesla (1.5T) MRI scanners. The 3T scanner provides higher magnetic field strength for detailed imaging of small structures within the brain. This department also offers complementary diagnostic tools including CT scans, ultrasound, X-ray, and angiography to support complex diagnoses.

Diagnostic Details and Results

The radiology team performs these scans for patients in neurology, intensive care, and emergency departments. The hospital provides a specific service for reviewing images taken at other medical centers. Patients who already have MRI results can request a re-evaluation from the radiology team for a second opinion. Results from the MRI help the neurology department manage various nerve and muscle diseases.
