Service Providers for MRI of Trigeminal Neuralgia Protocol
An MRI of the brain with a Trigeminal Neuralgia protocol is designed to evaluate the cause of facial pain related to trigeminal neuralgia, which may involve compression of the trigeminal nerve. The protocol typically includes high-resolution imaging sequences like T2-weighted images, 3D imaging, and sometimes contrast enhancement to identify vascular compression, tumors, or other abnormalities near the trigeminal nerve. The procedure involves lying still in the MRI machine, with no special preparation required, although metal objects must be removed. The MRI is non-invasive, and contrast material may be injected for better nerve visualization. Results help identify potential causes of nerve compression, aiding in treatment planning.
