      Does anyone know how much of the brain is captured on a MRI of the face/orbit?  Got call from dr office and they scheduled me a  MRI of the brain for tomorrow.  Said that they may have possibly seen something showing on my brain.  I thought MRI was specific to the area, so just wondering what part of brain would show when doing a face/orbit MRI.  Thanks for any info.

          They will do a whole brain MRI and the pictures they produce are similar to CT but show details differently, and in a way that a CT may miss.
