MRI ANGIOGRAPHY (FACE)
₹9000
MRI Angiography (Face) is available at an advanced as well as at NABL and NABH certified diagnosis centre, Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy. A special imaging procedure that takes a detailed picture of blood vessels in the face, using magnetic resonance technology. It enables the doctors to analyze the structure of blood vessels, blood circulation, and potential vascular disorders affecting the face.
What is MRI Angiography (Face)?
MRI Angiography (Face) is a non-surgical type of testing technique that is able to create a virtually three-dimensional image of the blood vessels with great detail, using powerful magnets and radio waves. Does not involve using ionising radiation. The exam allows the evaluation of the facial vessels in their size, path, and form. It is useful in determining abnormal widening and narrowing, or unusual connections of vessels, and for detecting other vascular changes. Contrast may also be administered by injection into the patient's blood vessels if necessary, to improve the picture.
Conditions Evaluated
Vascular Malformations
Vascular malformations are abnormalities in the formation or arrangement of blood vessels. MRI angiography may help assess their location, size, and involvement of surrounding structures.
Aneurysms
An aneurysm is an abnormal widening or bulging of a blood vessel. MRI angiography may help identify and evaluate suspected aneurysms in the scanned facial region.
Arteriovenous Malformations
Arteriovenous malformations involve abnormal connections between arteries and veins. MRI angiography may help assess the abnormal blood vessel network and its surrounding structures.
Vascular Narrowing
The examination may help identify narrowing in blood vessels that could affect blood flow to the facial region.
Abnormal Blood Vessel Connections
MRI angiography can help evaluate unusual connections or changes in the course of blood vessels that may require further clinical assessment.
