Advanced Brain Health Assessment

The Prenuvo Advanced Brain Health Assessment is an advanced neuroimaging addition to whole body MRI, leveraging cutting-edge protocols and AI-driven analysis. It is designed for preventative health screening and brain health optimization, offering superior accuracy and quantitative insights into brain health.

Prenuvo’s Advanced Brain Health Assessment harnesses multiple MRI sequences for a more focused and in-depth assessment of brain health:

High-resolution 3D MRI

High-resolution 3D MRI captures detailed anatomical pictures of the brain’s intricate structures.

Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging (SWI)

Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging (SWI) is highly sensitive to small amounts of blood, iron, and calcium, offering superior detection compared to other imaging sequences.

Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL)

Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) is a non-invasive MRI technique that measures cerebral blood flow without the need for intravenous contrast or radiation, making it safe for repeated use.¹

The combined power of our whole body screening and advanced brain assessment at work:

Cerebrovascular health:

ASL can help detect reduced blood flow that standard MRI may miss, helping identify early signs of vascular issues before a stroke occurs. Research shows ASL enhances stroke risk assessment and enables early intervention by detecting blood flow changes before permanent damage occurs.

Neurodegeneration Detection:

ASL can help detect early cerebral blood flow changes before structural atrophy, making it more sensitive than traditional MRI for early Alzheimer’s detection.

Enhanced Lesion Characterization:

SWI can help detect blood products, calcifications, and venous abnormalities, while ASL measures blood flow. Together, these techniques provide a more comprehensive assessment of brain lesions. Research shows they improve diagnostic accuracy, offering clearer insights into lesion characteristics for more precise treatment planning.^2,3

Frequently asked questions

How does Prenuvo’s Advanced Brain Health Assessment compare to a routine non-contrast brain MRI?

The Prenuvo Advanced Brain Health Assessment goes beyond a non-contrast brain MRI with optimized imaging protocols and automated quantitative volumetric analysis, which helps detect the early signs of subtle brain changes - often before symptoms arise.

Is this only for people with symptoms or concerns?

No, it’s designed for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of their brain health. It provides a focused and in-depth assessment, making it valuable for those prioritizing cognitive optimization, early detection of neurological conditions, and proactive long-term wellness. Complementing the Whole Body scan, it’s ideal for anyone seeking enhanced, personalized insights into your brain health.

How often should someone get this scan?

We recommend getting the advanced brain health assessment with your whole body scan every 1-2 years. This timeframe helps with early detection of subtle brain changes, supports proactive brain health monitoring, and helps track any changes over time. Regular scans provide valuable insights, enabling you to take preventive steps to support long-term brain health and cognitive well-being.
