MRI of the brain is a highly accurate and safe informative method of non-invasive diagnostics, which compares favorably with ultrasound and computed tomography. Organ pathologies manifest themselves in a mixed clinical picture. The patient may experience dizziness, pain syndromes, nausea, therefore, to make an accurate diagnosis, MRI of the brain is necessary.

The tomograph is based on the magnetic resonance of protons in the cellular structure. When exposed to electromagnetic waves, the particles resonate, allowing the device to record the resulting image in high contrast. Visualization is a set of two-dimensional projections (sections), having studied which the doctor can draw conclusions about the presence of pathological changes.
