Overview
More effective than CT scan in identifying lesions. Useful in differentiating the hepatic encephalopathy from the underlying brain causes. Increased resonance in T1 weighted images in hepatic encephalopathy due to manganese.[1]
MRI Scan
- More effective than CT scan in identifying lesions
- Useful in differentiating the hepatic encephalopathy from the underlying brain causes.
- Increased signal sensitivity in globus pallidus on T1 weighted images.[2]
- This intensity may be due to accumulation of manganese[1]
- Basal Ganglia changes are evident on MRI due to high metabolic activity in majority causes of metabolic encephalopathy.[3]
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS)
- Non invasive method which allows serial measurement of various neuro metabolites in brain.[5]
- Patients of hepatic encephalopathy show increase in glutamate.
- MRI and MRS are correlated with other brain lesions like parkinson's disease. It helps in differentiating from encephalopathy.[6]
