Bilateral Split Sciatic Nerve. Magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) is the direct imaging of nerves in the body by optimizing selectivity for unique MRI water properties of nerves. It is a modification of magnetic resonance imaging. This technique yields a detailed image of a nerve from the resonance signal that arises from in the nerve itself ...
All patients are reviewed for contraindications prior to MRI scanning. Medical devices and implants are categorized as MR Safe, MR Conditional or MR Unsafe: [6] MR-Safe – The device or implant is completely non-magnetic, non-electrically conductive, and non-RF reactive, eliminating all of the primary potential threats during an MRI procedure.
The patient may become paralyzed on the same side as the lesion causing the pressure, or damage to parts of the brain caused by herniation may cause paralysis on the side opposite the lesion. [11] Damage to the midbrain, which contains the reticular activating network which regulates consciousness, will result in coma. [11]

Ultra-detailed MRI scans reveal brain damage in severe COVID-19. The researchers used a relatively new scanning technology called ultra-high field (7T) quantitative susceptibility mapping.
MRI scan showing damage due to brain herniation after TBI [2] A large percentage of the people killed by brain trauma do not die right away but rather days to weeks after the event; [71] rather than improving after being hospitalized, some 40% of TBI patients deteriorate. [72]
The neurologist believed I had trigeminal neuralgia and suggested I have an MRI to confirm the diagnosis. He noted that a CT scan cannot image nerves and blood vessels, which is likely why I wasn ...
Damage can be so severe that nerve regrowth is impossible, and the nerve damage will be permanent. In cases where the nerve has been damaged but is still capable of regrowth, recovery time is widely variable. Surgical intervention with decompression of the cauda equina can assist recovery. Delayed or severe nerve damage can mean up to several ...
