Introduction to Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Neurologists

Abstract: Purpose of Review: In neuroradiology, highly sophisticated methods such as MRI are implemented to investigate different entities of the central nervous system and to acquire miscellaneous images where tissues display varying degrees of characteristic signal intensity or brightness. Compared to x-ray, CT, and ultrasound, MRI produces clearer images of tissues, body fluids, and fat. The basics of MRI may be unknown to neurologists; this article introduces MRI physics, techniques, and interpretation guidelines.

“…The presence of magnetic material results in local magnetic field inhomogeneity in samples due to difference in Larmor frequencies causing dephasing of magnetization of protons ultimately resulting in shortening of T2. 29,30 From Fig. 11b and 12, it is evident that by increasing iron oxide NPs in lecithin microbubble, the signal intensity decreases thus intensifying the darkening of the image.…”

“…In particular, MRI offers better visualization of the posterior cranial fossa, containing the brainstem and the cerebellum, as well as good contrast between the grey and white matter. The detailed anatomical structures of CNS are well contrasted by T1-and T2-weighted images with or without enhancement, which are the most widely used sequences for inflammatory CNS lesions with a similar manner of interpretation for musculoskeletal images [91]. MRI is the most useful neuroimaging study in patients with neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE).…”

“…Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recognized as the imaging modality that produces the best images of brain tissues, body fluids, and fat [ 1 ]. It remains the most appropriate modality for diagnosing patients with symptoms of multiple brain diseases including inflammatory diseases, dementia, neurodegenerative disease, cerebrovascular disease, and brain tumors [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]; hence, it plays an important role in multiple clinical scenarios ranging from acute diagnostics to routine follow-ups.…”
