It is a specialized type of magnetic resonance angiography (MRI) that can provide detailed images of blood vessels in the pelvis to help a doctor know if any blood vessels are narrowed, blocked, have an aneurysm, or have developed an abnormal vessel connection in the pelvis, or if there are other circulatory abnormalities.

About MRI Angiography Pelvis

MRI Angio Pelvis is an advanced imaging examination technique which is used to assess the arteries in the pelvis and (if indicated) selected veins. It helps image the blood vessels and blood flow, without the help of existing X-ray angiography, by utilizing magnetic resonance technology. It can be used to provide information about the infrastructure of the pelvic arteries and their branches, as well as about the walls of the artery and surrounding structures.

What is MRI Angiography Pelvis?

MRI stands for “magnetic resonance imaging,” and angiography refers to the imaging of blood vessels. Special imaging techniques are used to visualize the vasculature in order to measure blood flow in specific sequences. A gadolinium-containing contrast dye can be used in selected examinations to enhance the ability to see the vessels if the material is given intravenously. Two methods will vary, depending on the suspected condition and the images that the doctor wants.

Common Reasons for MRI Angiography Pelvis

• Vascular Blockages: Evaluation of any suspected blockage / poor flow through the blood vessels in the pelvic area.
• Aneurysm Evaluation: Test to confirm that the artery in the pelvis has abnormally expanded.
• Pelvic Circulation Problems: Study of some of the problems resulting from the decrease in blood supply to organs of the pelvis.
• Preoperative Assessment: Comprehensive vascular imaging of blood vessels before particular surgery and/or vascular interventions.
• Follow-up treatment: Change in the blood vessels after certain procedures or treatments.
• Abnormal Previous Imaging: Additional imaging to check for further vascular abnormalities identified during an ultrasound, CT angiography, or other imaging studies.

Conditions Evaluated

Pelvic Artery Stenosis

MRI angiography can help identify the location and extent of narrowing in pelvic arteries, depending on image quality and the examination protocol. This information is valuable to physicians in their evaluations of diseases and disorders of the circulation of blood in the pelvic region and lower legs.

Pelvic Arterial Occlusion

The test could assist in determining if there are blocked pelvic arteries and changes in blood flow. Results are analyzed in conjunction with the symptoms and other vascular investigations.

Pelvic Artery Aneurysms

MR angiography may be helpful for viewing the site and size of an aneurysm, and also be useful for visualizing abnormalities in the pelvis where blood vessels are widening.

Vascular Malformations

The exam might be used to assess certain congenital or acquired complications of the structure and connections of the blood vessels in the pelvis.

Iliac Artery Abnormalities

MRI angiography can be performed to evaluate narrowing and obstruction of the common and internal iliac arteries, some of their branches, and/or some vascular abnormalities of the pelvis.

Pelvic Venous Abnormalities

In some MRI imaging protocols, MRI may provide additional information on certain pelvic venous disorders, including enlarged veins, venous obstruction, and/or venous abnormalities.

Vascular Changes Following Treatment

MRI Angiography Pelvis is ordered, in selected cases, as a way to assess blood vessels following any vascular procedure or treatment or as a way to assess changes in such structures.

Book Your MRI Angiography Pelvis

If your doctor has recommended an MRI Angiography Pelvis exam, you should make your appointment for an MRI with Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy. Bring along medication, any Doppler report, previous CT angiography/ MRI reports, if applicable, and any other medical history. Notify the MRI staff before the MRI if there are any metal objects or pacemakers, or if there is concern about kidney disease or an allergy to any past reaction to contrast material.
