What is neurology?

A specialized brain imaging center

Our neurology modern neuroimaging ensures the clinical management of patients with brain tumors. Indeed, it is through the techniques of non-invasive neuroimaging now offer the possibility of integrating functional, hemodynamic, metabolic, cellular, microstructural and genetic information into the assessment of patients with brain tumors. These imaging tools are used to diagnose and classify preoperative brain tumorsto plan and direct surgery intraoperatively, to monitor and evaluate the patient's response to treatment and prognosis, and to understand the effects of treatment on the brain of the patient.

What is neuroimaging?

L'neurological imaging produces images of the structure or activity of the nervous system, generally the brain. It uses techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer tomography (CT).

In particular, our center is called upon for diagnoses involving theBrain MRI.

Brain MRI

The world of medical imaging has made significant strides in diagnosing and understanding the human body. As one of these technologies, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers detailed images of internal structures without requiring invasive procedures. In this article, we discuss the crucial role of lumbar spine MRI in diagnosing conditions affecting the lower back. Brain MRI produces detailed images of the brain and brain stem.

Why are brain MRIs done?
In the neurologya Brain MRI can help doctors to look for conditions such as bleeding, swelling, brain development problems, muscle spasms, and other symptoms. tumorsinfections, inflammation, damage caused by injury or stroke, or blood vessel problems.

L'Brain MRI can also help doctors search for causes of headaches or epileptic seizures. It can show whether a shunt is working.

In some cases, brain MRI can provide clear images of parts of the brain that cannot be seen as well with an X-ray, CT scan or ultrasound, making it particularly useful for finding problems with thepituitary gland and brain stem.

Key facts and figures

It is now recognized that neurological disorders contribute significantly to overall disability, often resulting in severe physical, cognitive and psychosocial limitations. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study identifies mental, neurological and substance use disorders as a major cause of disease burden worldwide. The most recent estimates show that stroke is the second leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Dementia, meningitis and migraine rank among the top 30 contributors to disability-adjusted life years, and epilepsy among the top 50, out of 315 diseases and injuries included.
