How to Scan an MRI Brain with Contrast

Let's take Episode 2: How to Scan an MRI Brain to the next level! In this video, we will walk through a real time MRI Brain with Contrast exam and explain sequences to better understand why certain sequences should be included in a routine MRI Brain with Contrast study!

Thank you.

Hi! TY! May I ask if there is a detox for the contrast dye after procedure? I just had my scan last Friday morning. Feeling lethargic.

[@pulseradiology]

Hi Jennifer,
There is no real detox but I highly suggest increased hydration to push that contrast out of the body. The contrast should take about 3-4 hours to completely leave the body.

If I comprehend correctly, you said that a post contrast coronal sequence can be constructed from the post contrast axial and sagittal T1 3D isometric sequences. Is that correct? Is this standard practice for a Brain MRI W/contrast, or do I need to request a set of post-contrast coronals? Thanks

[@pulseradiology]

Hi Dusty,
It always depends on the imaging centers protocols that the radiologists set. But to reduce the exam time, there are pulse sequences that are 3D isometric and yes those can be reformatted.
So I would run a 3D iso and then reconstruct a sagittal and coronal.
I hope this helps!

@@pulseradiology Thank you. I think I get it now.

[@megansland8920]

maybe we can hear scanner noise next time :) ?

[@pulseradiology]

Hahaha you sure you want to hear that? May drown out my “lovely” voice over.

MRI noise or silence?

[@megansland8920]

@@pulseradiology ahahah I LOVE mri scanner noise. I am a regular MRI patient and the noise is the most fun. Call me a weird, but I prefer to hear the scanner sing its songs lmao

[@dustyfeller]

Haha, I guess you could split the difference and use the machine noise only during the silent gaps.

[@AMIRSNgz]

its a ms mri ? or normal?

[@pulseradiology]

Not sure what you are specifically asking but I hope this helps!
