What is a Head MRI Scan?
An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is a safe, painless, and non-invasive procedure that uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of your head. It is a highly effective diagnostic tool that does not use potentially harmful radiation.
A head MRI is the most sensitive imaging method for examining the brain and surrounding structures. We offer different types of head MRI scans depending on the area of concern:
Brain MRI: A comprehensive scan of the brain’s structures, including the cerebral cortex, brainstem, cerebellum, and blood vessels.
Orbits (Eyes) MRI: A focused scan of the eyes and surrounding structures, including the optic nerves, to investigate visual problems.
Inner Ears (IAMS) MRI: An in-depth scan of the internal auditory meatus (inner ear canal) to diagnose issues like hearing loss and tinnitus.
What Symptoms Would Prompt a Head MRI Scan?
You should consider a private head MRI scan if you are experiencing persistent or unexplained symptoms, such as:
Chronic headaches or migraines
Unexplained physical or mental fatigue
Tremors, seizures, or muscle weakness
Hearing loss or tinnitus
Vision problems or changes
Difficulties with memory or information processing
What Can a Head MRI Scan Detect?
The detailed images from your scan will allow our consultant radiologists to detect and assess a wide range of diseases, conditions, and injuries:
Brain Scan:
Tumours: Identifying the presence, size, and location of both benign and malignant growths.
Vascular Issues: Detecting bleeding, fluid build-up, or signs of a stroke.
Infections & Inflammation: Pinpointing infections or swelling.
Neurological Conditions: Assessing conditions such as multiple sclerosis, dementia, and other brain development problems.
Orbits (Eyes) Scan:
Optic Neuropathy
Haemorrhage, inflammation, or swelling
Damage from trauma
Inner Ears Scan:
Acoustic neuromas
Sensorineural hearing loss
Ménière’s disease and other balance disorders
The results will provide your physician with the critical information needed to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the best course of treatment.
How to Prepare for Your Scan
Our Patient Care Team will ensure you are fully prepared for your appointment. It is important to inform us about your medical history, especially if you have any metal implants or conditions that might affect the scan, such as pacemakers, cochlear implants, or artificial joints.
A head MRI scan typically takes between 20 and 40 minutes, depending on the type of scan. We ask that you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to check in.
Our Private Head MRI Scan Packages
We offer three flexible and affordable packages. All prices include a full report from a consultant radiologist and access to all your scan images, which you will receive within three working days.
