A member asked:
How accurate a brain mri without dye injection really is in detecting problems like tumors , bleeding or inflammation of brain ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very accurate : MRI in the head even without contrast is very sensative. Contrast is useful for small findings or to help define what we are seeing. This can also be done later if needed
