CNS 2 IMAGING OF BRAIN ( block)
IMAGING MODALITIES PLANE X-RAY CTSCAN MRI ANDIOGRAPHY ULTRASOUND RADIOISOTOPES STUDY
Brain stem and cerebellum Brain stem consist of Midbrain Pons Medulla oblongata
Radiological Anatomy
CT. Technique CT show the anatomy of skull in transverse section. Unlike the plane radiography we can see the brain in axial section as well as the bone.

Ultrasound axial Ultrasound is used for the brain in children before two years when the fontanel are open
Ultrasound coronal
Ultrasound. Sagittal
MRI of the brain MRI is superior imaging modality for the soft tissues. It can more clearly differentiate between the grey and white of brain and spinal cord.
MRI : No ionizing radiation is used Provide detail view of brain in different dimensions like axial, coronal sagittal and oblique without changing the position of patient
