MRI is pivotal in diagnosing a wide range of neurological conditions, including:
- Stroke: MRI can identify both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, as well as transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). - Multiple Sclerosis (MS): MRI is crucial for detecting the characteristic lesions of MS, aiding in diagnosis and monitoring disease progression. - Brain Tumors: MRI provides detailed images of brain tumors, helping in their classification and planning for surgical or other treatments. - Neurodegenerative Diseases: Conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can be evaluated using MRI. - Epilepsy: MRI can identify structural abnormalities in the brain that may be causing seizures.
