Just for clarification, the image seen at 9:00 is not a flair image. It is a routine t2 weighted image. A flair (Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery) shows dark fluid. It is correct that flair imaging is extremely helpful with stroke imaging, (along with diffusion weighted imaging, DWI) the image at 9:00 min is a routine T2.

[@rawdonwaller]

Great video for prepping the night before med finals. This and the 2000 other Khan and other providers' videos I've watched in better understanding pathophys and anatomy. Way better than most of the lectures provided at uni.

Brilliant! Very clear explanation. I was fortunate to be admitted to a "Dr. House" type hospital where they whisked me into a powerful 3T MRI suite to observe my ischemic stroke in real time. Thanks for posting, especially since I'm still feeling like a "lab rat," as the docs are still trying to discover the cause of my TIA.

good simple explanation but I would also explain as to why or how the scan picks up that dye for example or make it into another video; how MRI angiography works (though that is more physics related) it all adds to the marks and better understanding of a topic to all people interested in these kind of topics.

Wot a great basic cranial imaging lecture! I wish it could have explained hyper/hypo intensity and hypo/hyperdensity in stroke MRIs and CTs respectively tho, especially since you talk a lot about ischemia anyway

[@cade8986]

Awesome video. Great analysis

[@serah2enrique]

haha, you're so right about dr.house and MRI scans!

[@mathiasfigenschau9733]

I wouldn't reduce a FLAIR sequence to: "a picture where computer software has removed all the CSF". The imaging parameters are in fact changed in order to obtain the fluid suppression that you would see in a FLAIR. A FLAIR, or any other MRI sequence for that matter, is a separate scan in the MRI examination - and not a reconstruction. Also, the MRI-image displayed here seems to be a regular T2-weighted image, not a FLAIR.

[@shankaranandhramachandran2689]

That last Mri scAN image is T2, n not Flair

[@KhalidFarooq786]

You are right.this is T2 w sequence.i think it should be replaced by FLAIR sequence.

[@kazbaz8645]

I had three small stroke clots deep in brain. Dont know if this means one stroke. They used contrast dye on an. Mri. I was there for an hour. After I had electric current sensations and weird sensations for two years afterwards. My gp didn't seem bothered. It was very scary though for me. I am on clot meds etc. I still cannot do full on exercise or I feel scarily strange later in the day. I think it was stroke not toa as it had after affects.

I possibly had a stroke months ago. Just getting diagnosed. Doctors is waiting several days to get me a mri. Wondering if that's soon enough.

[@michelvandijk2745]

You made a mistake, the last sequence is not a FLAIR, but a T2 image. Also, a FLAIR has nothing to do with computer software. That information is wrong. The scanner uses a inversion pulse to saturate fluids, that's why it's called Fluid Attenuation Inversion Recovery.

[@KhalidFarooq786]

Dear sir. At the end of video you have showed MRI image with the heading of FLAIR sequence . Respected sir ,it is not FLAIR sequence.it is simple T2 w sequence. Please correct it and delete last image with proper FLAIR sequence..thanks. Prof Dr Khalid Farooq.

9:20 is not flair ,its a T2WI

[@tarek6359]

but the ventricles are clearly not symmetrical on the first picture you showed, is that normal?

[@saharahmed348]

Should i order ct with or without contrast ? Plz answer Cuz it differs in both haemorrhagic or ischemic stroke..

[@arvaneret_329]

I got a non-contrasted craneum MRI done recently. They observed a few “hyperintense pinpoint foci” (that's how Google Translated it from Spanish, “focos puntiformes hiperintensos) in my brain. What does it mean? Is my brain damaged? They also found that the A1 artery has less caliber and dominance than the other one at the other side of the brain or something like that. I'm worried that my brain may not be receiving enough blood flow from a time when I fell asleep in an uncomfortable position, more than a month ago, and my head was pressed forward by the sofa's cushion. I hurt my neck and haven't stopped feeling varying sensations of numbness and occassional, localized, sharp, transient but not so strong pain on my head. I also felt tingling for many days and two times I woke up feeling dizzy. 3 or 4 times I confused the day of the week. I've also been feeling tired but in a strange way, almost dizzy but not quite.

The third, fourth and both lateral ventricles are normal in size. The thalamic-basal ganglia regions are normal. There is widening of rest of the cerebral sulci. The eye-balls and optic nerves appear normal.
