A member asked:
What type of diseases does a negative brain mri detect? does it eliminate a lot of neurological disorders?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A negative: MRI is normal and therefore detects no diseases. MRI is capable of detecting numerous structural, neoplastic, inflammatory, vascular, traumatic, and demyelinating disorders. A negative mri rules out many types of these disorders, but not all.
