MRI examination with Dr Catarina Jung

The most common indications for MRI of the head are headaches, dizziness and memory disorders.

A brain scan is also used to clarify inflammations, suspected haemorrhages or cerebral infarction as well as for tumour diagnostics. MRI for use.

You receive a precise visualisation of the brain and the surrounding structures.

We then discuss the results with you in detail.
