The duration of a Brain MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) can vary depending on factors such as the type of scan, the complexity of the images needed, and the individual patient. However, as a general guideline:
A routine Brain MRI without contrast typically takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes.
If contrast dye (gadolinium) is used to enhance the images, the scan may take a bit longer, typically around 30 to 45 minutes.
