MRI imaging
Charis Neurology uses MRI when imaging can answer a focused clinical question and help guide neurological treatment.
01
Detailed imaging for the brain and spine in a scanner designed to feel more open and comfortable than many traditional MRI settings.
02
MRI can help evaluate neurological symptoms involving headaches, seizures, memory changes, stroke concerns, tumors, inflammation, or unexplained neurological changes.
03
Spine MRI can help clarify neck pain, back pain, weakness, numbness, tingling, balance changes, or symptoms that may come from nerve compression.
04
Because imaging is part of your Charis care plan, results are interpreted alongside your exam, symptoms, history, and next-step treatment needs.
What MRI can help evaluate
MRI is selected based on your symptoms, exam findings, history, and the specific question your care team needs to answer.
HEAD
MRI may be recommended when headache patterns are new, worsening, unusual, or paired with neurological warning signs.
SEIZURE
Brain MRI can help identify structural causes that may contribute to seizures, fainting-like episodes, or unexplained spells.
MEMORY
Imaging may be part of evaluating memory loss, cognitive decline, stroke changes, tumors, or other brain conditions.
SPINE
Spine MRI helps assess disc problems, stenosis, nerve compression, spinal cord changes, and related arm or leg symptoms.
01
We review your symptoms, prior records, safety screening, and what the MRI needs to answer.
02
You lie still while the scanner captures detailed brain or spine images. The wide-bore design helps reduce anxiety and improve comfort.
03
Your MRI results are reviewed in the context of your neurological exam, history, and treatment goals.
04
Dr. Makar and the Charis team explain what the imaging means and whether treatment, monitoring, or additional testing is needed.
Why on-site MRI matters
A separate imaging center can create extra handoffs. At Charis Neurology, MRI is connected to the provider evaluating your symptoms and planning your treatment.
USUAL
Patients are sent to a separate imaging center, wait for reports to move between offices, and often need another visit before the findings are explained.
CHARIS
MRI is part of the same neurology workflow, so imaging, diagnosis, and follow-through stay coordinated in one Lake Mary practice.
