THEIRMUbongo (magnetic resonance imaging) ndikuwunika komwe kumatha kuzindikira zolakwika muubongo ndikuzindikira chomwe chimayambitsa (mitsempha, matenda, otsika, otupa kapena chotupa).

MRI imapangitsa kuti muwone mwatsatanetsatane:

• mbali yachiphamaso (yoyera) ya ubongo

• mapeto akuya (imvi)

• ma ventricles

• magazi a venous ndi arterial (makamaka mukamagwiritsa ntchito utoto)

Nthawi zambiri, MRI imapereka chidziwitso chomwe sichingawonekere ndi njira zina zowunikira zithunzi (radiography, ultrasound kapena computed tomography). MRI imagwiritsa ntchito mphamvu ya maginito ndi mafunde a wailesi kuti iwonetsetse minofu yonse mu ndege zitatu za mlengalenga.

MRI ya ubongo imachitidwa pofuna kufufuza. Ndi mayeso osankha ma pathologies onse aubongo. Makamaka, amalembedwa:

• kudziwa chomwe chimayambitsa litsipa

• kuwunika magazi kapena kukhalapo kwa magazi kuundana ku ubongo

• pakakhala chisokonezo, kusokonezeka kwa chidziwitso (kuyambitsa mwachitsanzo ndi matenda monga Alzheimer's kapena Parkinson's)

• ngati 'hydrocephalus (kuchuluka kwa cerebrospinal fluid mu ubongo)

• kuzindikira kukhalapo kwa iwe umwalira, wamatenda, kapena ngakhalekunyowa
• mlandu wa demyelinating pathologies (monga multiple sclerosis), pofuna kudziwa kapena kuwunika
• pakachitika zovuta zomwe zimatsogolera ku kukayikira kuwonongeka kwa ubongo.

Kwa MRI yaubongo, wodwalayo amagona chagada patebulo yopapatiza yomwe imatha kulowa mu chipangizo cha cylindrical chomwe chimalumikizidwa. 

Mabala angapo amadulidwa, malinga ndi mapulani onse a danga. Pamene zithunzizo zikujambulidwa, makinawo amamveka phokoso lalikulu ndipo wodwala ayenera kupewa kusuntha kulikonse kuti apeze zithunzi zabwino kwambiri.

Ogwira ntchito zachipatala, omwe amaikidwa m'chipinda china, amayang'anira zoikamo za chipangizocho ndikukambirana ndi wodwalayo kudzera pa maikolofoni.

Nthawi zina (kuwunika kuyendayenda kwa magazi, kupezeka kwa mitundu ina ya zotupa kapena kuzindikira malo otupa), utoto kapena zinthu zosiyanitsa zitha kugwiritsidwa ntchito. Kenako amabayidwa mumtsempha mayeso asanafike.

Mayesowa amatenga nthawi yayitali (30 mpaka 45 mphindi) koma osapweteka.

MRI yaubongo imalola dokotala kuzindikira kukhalapo kwa, mwa zina:

• an chotupa

• kutuluka magazi kapena kutupa (edema) mkati kapena kuzungulira ubongo

• an matenda kapena kutukusira (meningitis, encephalitis)

• zachilendo zomwe zingasonyeze kukhalapo kwa matenda ena: Matenda a Huntington, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease kapena Alzheimer's disease.

• kulira (aneurism) kapena kuwonongeka kwa mitsempha ya magazi

Kutengera ndi matenda omwe adzakhazikitse potengera zithunzi za MRI, adokotala atha kupereka chithandizo choyenera kapena chithandizo choyenera.
