Head MRIs are performed to visualize the anatomical and vascular system of the brain and the surrounding structures. This is a non-invasive imaging method which uses a strong magnetic field and radiowave pulses. The head MRI is especially effective in observing the soft tissue in the region. Using head MRI reporting, refers to the service of remote interpretation and analysis of head MRI scans.
The following anatomical systems are covered under head MRI reporting:
Cerebral Hemispheres:
This includes all the lobes of the skull which is prone to several complications like loss of grey-white matter differentiation, parenchymal volume loss, abnormal gyral or sulcal pattern, etc. A head MRI scan is an effective tool in detecting injuries, tissue disruptions, edema in this region.
Cerebellum:
The cerebellum is one of the most critical structures in the brain and any complication in this results in serious complications. The cerebellum can have several complications like cerebellar atrophy, focal hemispheric lesions, vermian abnormalities, and tonsillar herniation. Using a head MRI, radiologists can detect the anatomical injuries in the cerebellum.
Ventricular System:
The ventricular system is susceptible to issues like ventricular dilatation, ventricular compression, obstructed CSF pathways, and intraventricular lesions. The head MRI is an effective tool for observing delineation and ventricular morphology.

This section explains the detailed workflow of reporting of head MRI scans:
The head MRI scan is performed at the healthcare institution by on-site technicians.
After the MRI images are obtained, the institution sends these images, along with the patient data to Statim Healthcare.
After observing the clinical data and the received images, the case is allocated to a relevant radiologist.
The radiologist then carefully analyses the images and correlates them to the patient data to put forth a diagnosis.
After the cause of the disease is determined, the radiologist then prepares a final report consisting of the MRI results.
In case of an emergency or critical findings, the radiologist may communicate the findings verbally or through a preliminary report.
The final report is then electronically signed by the radiologist and sent to the healthcare institution.
At Statim Healthcare, we offer excellent services for head MRI reporting services. These facilities are crucial in emergency/STAT situations or those, where the findings indicate the requirement of immediate medical action.
