Neurological Disorder Diagnosis
Comprehensive Evaluation for Headache, Dizziness, and Cognitive Disorders
Xi’an IMC | Siemens MAGNETOM Prisma 3.0T Brain MRI | TCD | Cervical Spine MRI | EEG Monitoring | English Neurology Specialist Consultation
- US: specialist referral and MRI scheduling may result in a total wait of 3–6 months; advanced neuroimaging may take even longer
- UK NHS neurological imaging pathways may take 6–12 months
- Chronic headache and dizziness often lead to repeated consultations without timely imaging clarification
- Organic brain lesions may be missed when symptoms are initially treated as functional or tension-related disorders
- Appointment within 1–2 working days
- Brain MRI, TCD, and additional neurodiagnostic tests can be coordinated in one visit
- TCD report available immediately; MRI report within 24–48 hours
- English specialist consultation arranged within 24 hours after exams
Advanced structural imaging supports evaluation of headache, dizziness, stroke-related changes, tumor, and neurodegenerative findings.
Complements structural imaging with cerebral blood flow, electrophysiology, and cervical assessment when clinically indicated.
Clear diagnostic explanation for headache subtypes, dizziness pathways, and Alzheimer’s-related assessment planning.
| Examination | Equipment / Technology | Clinical Value |
|---|---|---|
| Brain MRI (Plain + Contrast) | Siemens MAGNETOM Prisma 3.0T T1WI, T2WI, FLAIR, DWI, 3D high-resolution sequences, gadolinium contrast when indicated |
Evaluates structural brain abnormalities including ischemic change, mass lesions, inflammation, demyelination, and neurodegenerative patterns. |
| Transcranial Doppler (TCD) | DWL Doppler system (Germany) | Measures cerebral blood flow velocity and supports assessment of vascular dynamics and intracranial circulation. |
| Cervical Spine MRI (If neck pain present) | Siemens MAGNETOM Prisma 3.0T 3D disc and neural structure imaging |
Assesses disc degeneration, nerve compression, and cervical factors contributing to headache or dizziness. |
| Electroencephalography (If needed) | Nihon Kohden EEG-1200C 24-hour ambulatory EEG available |
Supports evaluation of seizure activity, transient altered consciousness, and selected neurologic symptoms. |
| Specialist Consultation (English) | Senior physician (Associate Chief Physician level or above) | English consultation with imaging interpretation, diagnostic classification, and treatment planning. |
* For contrast-enhanced MRI, fasting for 4 hours is recommended and contrast safety must be reviewed in advance. A short post-contrast observation period may be required.

Transparent package pricing with a strong cost advantage over typical overseas neurological imaging pathways.
* Pricing ranges vary by healthcare system, imaging bundle, and whether contrast or additional neurodiagnostic tests are included. This is a simplified comparison.
A faster route from persistent headache, dizziness, or cognitive concerns to imaging review and specialist explanation.
* Waiting times vary by referral pathway and MRI capacity. The IMC workflow is designed for speed and diagnostic clarity.
Online intake and appointment confirmation
Preparation guidance provided in English before the visit
Private transfer + English assistance
Contrast studies require fasting and short post-exam observation when indicated
Comfort breaks with in-hospital meals, optional TCM and wellness experience
English specialist consultation with diagnostic classification and treatment guidance
If abnormalities are found, multidisciplinary consultation can be arranged as needed
High-resolution brain and cervical MRI platform for structural neuroimaging and contrast-enhanced assessment.
Supports evaluation of cerebral blood flow, vascular dynamics, and electrophysiological abnormalities when clinically indicated.
Senior physician consultation with imaging interpretation, cognitive and headache pathway guidance, and next-step planning.
Who should consider this neurological assessment?
This program is suitable for patients with persistent headache, dizziness, cognitive decline concerns, neck-related neurologic symptoms, or those seeking more advanced neurologic clarification.
Do I need contrast for the brain MRI?
Not always. Contrast-enhanced imaging is added when clinically appropriate, based on symptoms, preliminary findings, and physician assessment.
How quickly will I receive results?
TCD results are available the same day. MRI reports are usually issued within 24–48 hours, and English specialist consultation is arranged within 24 hours after exams.
What happens if an abnormality is found?
You will receive a structured explanation of the findings and, if needed, recommendations for multidisciplinary follow-up such as neurosurgery, rehabilitation, or additional testing.
