An MRI scan of the brain is a painless imaging test that uses strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed pictures of your brain and the structures inside your head. Your doctor might order this test to investigate headaches, dizziness, memory problems, suspected tumors, stroke symptoms, or other neurological concerns. During the procedure, you'll lie still inside a tunnel-shaped machine for 20-45 minutes while it takes images, and you'll hear loud knocking sounds as the machine operates.
