Why would I need a Brain MRI scan?

A brain MRI scan is often recommended if you are experiencing persistent or unexplained neurological symptoms. It provides more detail than a CT scan and is commonly used to:

  • Investigate headaches or migraines
  • Assess dizziness, balance problems, or vision changes
  • Detect signs of stroke, mini-stroke (TIA), or brain injury
  • Identify tumours, cysts, or abnormal growths
  • Diagnose multiple sclerosis (MS) or other neurological disorders
  • Monitor long-term brain conditions
  • Investigate memory loss, confusion, or seizures

Comfort comes first

Our brain MRI scans are completely safe, non-invasive, and do not use radiation. Every scan is carried out in a comfortable, private environment, with results reported by experienced consultant radiologists.

At Vitalscan, your comfort comes first — you can choose to watch Netflix, listen to music, or set the room lighting to your preference during the scan. Complimentary tea, coffee, and water are also available to make your visit stress-free.

Brain MRI FAQs

What is a brain MRI scan?2025-08-18T16:35:47+00:00

A brain MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create highly detailed images of the brain. It is completely safe and does not use radiation.

Why might I need a brain MRI?2025-08-18T16:36:00+00:00

Your doctor may recommend a brain MRI to investigate headaches, dizziness, seizures, vision problems, memory loss, or to check for conditions such as stroke, tumours, or multiple sclerosis.

How long does the scan take?2025-08-18T16:36:13+00:00

A brain MRI typically takes around 20–30 minutes, depending on the level of detail required.

Is the scan uncomfortable?2025-08-18T16:36:27+00:00

Not at all. You’ll lie down inside the scanner, and at Vitalscan you can relax with Netflix, music, or your choice of radio while ambient lighting helps you feel at ease.

Can I eat and drink before my MRI?2025-08-18T16:36:40+00:00

For most brain MRI scans, you can eat and drink normally. If any preparation is required, we’ll let you know in advance.

When will I get my results?2025-08-18T16:36:50+00:00

Your images will be reviewed by a specialist radiologist, with results typically available within a few working days.

Is a brain MRI safe?2025-08-18T16:37:03+00:00

Yes, MRI scans are safe. However, because the scanner uses magnets, it may not be suitable if you have certain implants, pacemakers, or metal fragments in your body. Our team will check this carefully before your scan.
