The abnormalities related to veins and arteries can be detected with the help of a brain MRI. Furthermore, the lesions are also detected with the help of an MRI of the brain. They appear as light or dark spots in the MRI scan.
MRI is used to diagnose stroke, traumatic brain injury, brain and spinal cord tumors, inflammation, infection, vascular irregularities, brain damage associated with epilepsy, abnormally developed brain regions, and some neurodegenerative disorders. MRI is also used to diagnose and monitor disorders such as multiple sclerosis.
It is called a signal abnormality because during the MRI, the scanner will detect an abnormality via electromagnetic signals which are similar to radio waves. The scan is known as a T2 scan. It can detect abnormalities of the brain the size of 5 mm and larger.
