What is an MRI Brain Scan?

An MRI Brain scan is a safe, non-invasive imaging test that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed 3D images of the brain and its structures.

Unlike CT scans or X-rays, MRI does not use any radiation and provides superior soft tissue clarity, making it ideal for neurological evaluation.

At Curis Life Multispecialty Clinic in Andheri West, our expert radiologists use advanced high-resolution MRI scanners to deliver precise and early diagnosis for effective treatment planning.

All MRI Brain scans are performed only by prior appointment to ensure patient comfort, safety, and zero waiting time.
