What Does an Abnormal Brain MRI Look Like?
In order to take a picture of a person’s brain and obtain certain information about it, the medical community uses a magnetic resonance imaging system (called an MRI). An MRI produces pictures of the brain by using magnetic fields as well as energy from radio waves. These MRI images can show the existence of brain tumors and their growth being experienced, blood vessel blockage in the brain (and the severity), as well as other signs of disease. But in order to determine what an abnormal brain MRI looks like, a medical professional must first know what a normal one looks like.
