Head and Neck Masses: Mri uses large magnets to create images of possible masses. Mri is a related technology that images blood vessels to look for blockages or aneurysms (ballooning). While there are some more specialized tests to look at certain areas, in general, the answer to your question is yes.

My MRI for chronic headache/head pressure said ...Prominent CSF space in the superior posterior fossa, unchanged. It is favored that this represents prominent subarachnoid space/normal variation rather than an arachnoid cyst. What does that mean?
