MRI BRACHIAL PLEXUS

An MRI Brachial Plexus is an extremely high-tech, non-invasive way to examine and evaluate the nerves in the neck of the spinal cord and in the shoulder. Complex structure of nerves located in the neck, shoulder, hand and arm can all be imaged using this method. This is typically utilized as diagnostic tools for doctors to ascertain whether a patient's nerves have injury, contain malformations (abnormalities), or are otherwise compromised (specifically, how signals pass through those nerves).

MRI Brachial Plexus test has become an essential component as more patients than ever require accurate, timely diagnoses of their nerve disorders. Thanks to the availability of high-quality MRI studies being performed in state-of-the-art facilities, patients now have access to both the highest quality MRI Brachial Plexus images and the interpretations of these images by a board certified radiologist who has extensive experience with interpreting those images. The price of MRI Brachial Plexus test is around INR 4,500 to INR 10,000.

What is the Brachial Plexus?

The brachial plexus operates as a complicated nervous system network which starts at the neck area of the spinal cord and extends through the shoulder to reach the arm. The brachial plexus establishes nerve pathways which control muscle movements and enable sensory functions for the shoulder area and upper arm and hand territories. Any injury, inflammation, or compression in this nerve network can lead to symptoms such as:

• Pain in the shoulder
• Weakness in the upper limb
• Numbness
• Tingling sensation
• Loss of coordination

What is an MRI Brachial Plexus Test?

It is type of MRI that will produce an accurate, high resolution (detailed) image of just one portion of the brachial plexus and its surrounding structures.

The MRI Brachial Plexus Test requires its imaging process to use high magnetic fields together with radio wave technology since this method delivers safer results than CT scans which depend on x-ray and ionizing radiation to produce their images. The superior soft tissue contrast of MRI technology makes it better than X-rays and CT scans for assessing:

• Nerve injuries
• Tumors
• Inflammation
• Infections
• Structural abnormalities

Why is an MRI Brachial Plexus Test Done?

• Trauma or injury
• Suspected nerve damage
• Persistent arm pain
