sorry, MRI is the more common expression in English, so it should read \"cranial MRI\"

brain MRI


Explanation:
There are so many references to brain MRI that I think you should use it, since cranial and brain are not the same thing.

BTW, although both are used, MRI is much more common than MRT in English

Sorry, on second thought, they seem to be the same thing.

Brain MRI

Brain imaging, head MRI, cranial MRI, neurological MRI - they describe all the same radiological imaging technique for medical diagnostic.

MRI of the brain, known as a cranial MRI, may be ordered by a healthcare provider to evaluate a person\'s tumor, seizure disorder or headache symptoms.

agree  PPaulus: "Cerebral MRI" is the usual and correct term. Besides, it must be MRI (not MRT) for magnet resonance imaging...

cerebral MRT


Explanation:
I would stick with MRT, as tomography is a particular imaging technique. MRT and MRI are not synonymous.
