An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) brain with contrast is a medical imaging test that uses a powerful magnet and radio waves to create detailed images of the brain. Patients may need this procedure if their doctor suspects a brain condition, such as a tumor, stroke, or infection. During the test, the patient lies still on a table that slides into the MRI machine. A contrast dye may be injected to help certain structures show up more clearly on the images.
