What is an underlying enhancing lesion or metastatic disease pertaining to a mri of the brain?
A MRI of the brain is used to find these conditions. You will not know the underlying issue until the procedure is completed and reviewed.
What is a functional MRI?
Functional MRI is an MRI procedure to determine activation in the brain during activities or in disease condition. Also known as fMRI. fMRI uses the same MRI machine as other examinations but it requires special additional software. Detection of activation in the brain is determined by the oxygen content in the blood vessel under the premise that oxygen level is high when the brain is activated.
What is a brain imaging technique?
A brain imaging technique is a method used to visualize and examine the structure and function of the brain. Examples include MRI, CT scan, PET scan, and fMRI. These techniques are valuable in diagnosing neurological disorders, studying brain activity, and understanding the brain's anatomy.
What is meant by the term open mri?
An open MRI is a procedure done for scanning for brain tumors. The open scanner has become much more popular because it produces higher quality scans.
What does dark fluid mean in a MRI of the brain?

What are all the possible conditions and diseases that a MRI can find?
Here's what I have learned about MRI's so far, and I am sure there is much I will leave out.....they are superior to CT scans because they are used to visualize soft tissues and see through bone, including the skull and vertebral column. Also, because of the high transmission and clarity, MRI's can also be used to differentiate between different types of soft tissue, such as the white and grey matter of the nervous system. They can also use MRI's to visualize moment-to-moment changes in tissue function, such as with the brain (called functional MRI, or fMRI). For example, if a patient gets an fMRI, the scan will show which portion of the brain is responding to different commands given to the patient during the exam. So in a nutshell, an MRI is used to visualize organs, muscles and tissues, including nervous tissue in the vertebral column. With that said, diseases and injuries to the Central Nervous System (CNS) can be seen using MRI, as well as diseases, injuries and abnormal growth to organs such as the liver, kidneys, lungs etc. Specifically, diseases I can think of offhand that are diagnosed using MRI pertain to the CNS like Alzheimers, Parkinsons, Epilepsy and the like. There are many to list, but others such as thyroid cancer, non-hodgkins lymphoma and pituitary cancers can also be identified.

Can arachnoiditis show on Mri in the brain as lesions?
Yes, a arachnoidtis will show on an MRI. This will show up on an MRI as a brain lesion, but doctors will furthur be able to determine exactly what the lesion is from.
Can i bill mri of brain and mri iac's together with 59 modifier if i only have one report for both procedures?
Yes.Thats true if MRI of brian and iac are done on same day use 59 on iac.
What is a MIA scan?
I think you mean an MRI scan. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a scan used for a medical imaging procedure. An MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves to take pictures of the body's interior. An MRI is used to investigate or diagnose conditions such as tumours, joint or spinal injuries or diseases, soft tissue injuries or diseases of internal organs such as the brain or heart.
What bombards the brain with magnetic impulses?
MRI
What type of scans give the most high quality images of the soft tissues of the brain?
MRI
