Book MRI Angiography at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre which has high quality diagnostics and therapeutic facility and excellent diagnostics facility. An imaging technique that is specialized to the study of blood vessels and blood flow in the various tissues of the body is MRI Angiography. An important function for the doctor is to evaluate suspected narrowing, obstructions, and/or bulging in the blood vessels and other abnormalities.

About MRI Angiography

With non-invasive MRI Angiography, the arteries and veins can be detailed without harming the person. It can also be used to check blood vessels to the brain, neck, chest and abdomen or to the pelvis, arms and legs, depending on the clinical need. Examination can help detect any problems with blood vessels and their blood supply. These can be done with or without contrast, depending on the region of the body, the area of interest, and the MRI imaging protocol employed, with techniques performed specifically for this purpose.

What is MRI Angiography?

It uses a strong magnet, radiofrequency, and special imaging techniques to generate images of blood vessels. There are special types of MRA (MRA angiography) that can obtain images of blood vessels without a contrast agent. If not, a gadolinium-based contrast agent can be injected into the patient to make it easier to see and to try to provide more information about the vascular structures. The technique selected is dependent on the indication and the radiologist's decision and assessment.

Common Reasons for MRI Angiography

• Arterial Narrowing Suspected: Evaluating for narrowing that may affect the flow of blood in arteries.
• Blood Vessel Blockages: Examination of the potential for blood vessels to be blocked or for there to be reduced blood flow in some blood vessels.
• Aneurysm Evaluation: Investigate and diagnose an abnormal, swollen and/or bulging of blood vessels.
• Stroke Assessment: MRA may help evaluate selected abnormalities of the arteries supplying the brain in patients with stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) 
• Vascular Malformations: Assessment of anything that is considered an abnormal development or structure of blood vessels.
• Blood Circulation: Review of blood flow issues that may be a result of the lack of blood flow to an organ or a limb.
• Follow-up Imaging: These are imaging studies of previously known Vascular disease or scans of previously diagnosed abnormalities.
• Pre-treatment Planning: Giving doctors an easy-to-understand image about the blood vessels they can use when planning more treatment.

Conditions Evaluated

Arterial Stenosis

MRI Angiography can also visualize narrowing of the arteries and how and where the arteries are becoming narrowed. This might relate to organs & limbs having reduced blood flow and/or the brain.

Aneurysms

MRA is a procedure that can detect or measure abnormal bulges in blood vessels that are called aneurysms. The images created can aid the doctor in making decisions about further testing or treatment.

Vascular Malformations

Specific congenital or acquired abnormalities of blood vessels and connections can be visualised in the exam.

Cerebrovascular Abnormalities

Depending on the area of the brain scanned, MRA may determine the structure of arteries that help bring blood to the brain and also identify some abnormalities of the arteries in the brain that decrease blood flow.

Peripheral Vascular Disease

MRI Angio of the arms and legs can be performed to explore certain irregularities, which could lead to problems with blood flow into and out of the arms and legs, such as narrowing or blockage of the arteries.

Abdominal and Pelvic Vascular Abnormalities

MRA can help look at certain blood vessels of the abdomen and pelvis, such as those that may be narrowed, may be bleeding into the bloodstream, or may have other blood vessel abnormalities.

Post-Treatment Vascular Assessment

In some patients, MRA can be performed after a vascular procedure or treatment to examine the blood vessels and to observe existing abnormalities.

Book Your MRI Angiography

For more information and to coordinate the MRI Angiography, please contact Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy and confirm which body region is required, what protocol the body will be scanned with, the availability of these MRI scans, and the preparation required. If you have a previous MRI or CT angiography, bring those, any medication that needs to be taken, and medical records, if any. Let the MRI technologists know before the MRI if there are electrical devices such as a pacemaker, metal appliances, surgical clips, or other wired medical devices in place.
