What is an MRI Brain with Stroke Protocol?

An MRI scan using a Stroke Protocol will include certain types of MRI sequences used to check for a stroke and check for the possibility of brain cell death due to inadequate or absent blood flow to the brain. The MRI scan using the Stroke Protocol will have the same structure as the regular MRI scan, the same purpose, but it will include MRI images of certain sequences when there is a question of evidence of a stroke, as well as evidence of possible brain cell death due to inadequate or absent blood flow or oxygen.

A stroke occurs when there is a disruption of the supply of blood to the blood vessels supplying the brain, thus preventing oxygen or nutrient supply from reaching the brain. There are two types of strokes:

• Ischemic stroke, which is the presence of an obstruction or blockage of the blood vessel supplying the brain with blood.
• Hemorrhagic stroke, which refers to the presence of blood from a torn blood vessel supplying the brain with blood.
