Headaches, confusion or dizziness

Headaches are common and usually harmless, but imaging may be recommended if symptoms are severe, persistent or accompanied by neurological changes. MRI scans can help rule out underlying causes when headaches are associated with confusion, dizziness, visual disturbance or weakness, providing reassurance or guiding further care.

MRI Brain scan imaging is commonly used to assess:

  • Persistent or worsening headaches
  • Dizziness or balance problems
  • Confusion or memory changes
  • Visual or sensory disturbances
  • Suspected neurological conditions
