Get the advanced Radiology & diagnostic imaging services at Molecular Diagnostic and Therapy with MRI angiography Pelvis, NABL & NABH Accreditations. 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.
Test information: Fasting NOT needed
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
No fasting is required before an MRI Angiography Pelvis examination.
Carry your doctor's prescription, previous MRI or CT angiography reports, Doppler ultrasound reports, and other relevant medical records.
Inform the MRI staff if you have kidney disease, reduced kidney function, or any other significant medical condition.
If contrast administration is planned, inform the staff about any previous allergic reaction to MRI contrast agents or other injectable contrast materials.
Tell the MRI team if you have a pacemaker, metallic implant, surgical clips, cochlear implant, or any other medical device. These must be checked for MRI safety before the examination.
Inform the staff if you are pregnant, suspect pregnancy, or are breastfeeding.
Share details of all medicines you are currently taking. Do not stop prescribed medicines unless advised by your doctor.
Remove jewellery, watches, hairpins, hearing aids, and other metallic or electronic objects before entering the MRI room.
Wear comfortable clothing without metal components. You may be asked to change into a hospital gown.
Inform the staff if you experience claustrophobia, difficulty lying flat, or difficulty remaining still during the scan.
Follow the radiographer's instructions regarding breathing and body positioning to help obtain clear images.
MRI Angiography Pelvis जांच से पहले उपवास रखने की आवश्यकता नहीं है।
डॉक्टर की पर्ची, पिछली MRI या CT Angiography रिपोर्ट, Doppler Ultrasound रिपोर्ट और अन्य संबंधित मेडिकल रिकॉर्ड साथ लेकर आएं।
यदि आपको किडनी की बीमारी, किडनी की कार्यक्षमता में कमी या कोई अन्य महत्वपूर्ण स्वास्थ्य समस्या है, तो MRI स्टाफ को पहले से बताएं।
यदि जांच में Contrast दिया जाना है, तो MRI Contrast या किसी अन्य इंजेक्शन वाले Contrast से पहले हुई एलर्जी या रिएक्शन की जानकारी दें।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं, गर्भावस्था की संभावना है या शिशु को स्तनपान करा रही हैं, तो स्टाफ को बताएं।
आप जो भी दवाएं ले रहे हैं, उनकी जानकारी दें। डॉक्टर की सलाह के बिना कोई भी निर्धारित दवा बंद न करें।
MRI रूम में प्रवेश करने से पहले Jewellery, घड़ी, Hairpins, Hearing Aids और अन्य धातु या इलेक्ट्रॉनिक वस्तुएं हटा दें।
आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें जिनमें धातु के बटन या अन्य धातु के हिस्से न हों। आवश्यकता पड़ने पर आपको हॉस्पिटल गाउन दिया जा सकता है।
यदि आपको बंद जगह से घबराहट होती है, सीधे लेटने में परेशानी होती है या जांच के दौरान स्थिर रहने में कठिनाई होती है, तो स्टाफ को बताएं।
स्पष्ट इमेज प्राप्त करने के लिए Radiographer द्वारा दिए गए सांस लेने और शरीर की स्थिति से संबंधित निर्देशों का पालन करें।
The patient is asked to lie comfortably on the MRI table, usually in a supine position (lying on the back).
The pelvic region is positioned appropriately, and a dedicated MRI coil is placed over the area to obtain detailed vascular images.
Initial MRI images are acquired to assess the pelvic region and surrounding anatomical structures.
Depending on the clinical indication and imaging protocol, the examination may be performed using non-contrast or contrast-enhanced MR angiography techniques.
If contrast is required, an intravenous cannula is placed in a vein, usually in the arm, and a gadolinium-based contrast agent is administered.
Additional images are acquired using specialised MRI sequences to visualize the pelvic arteries and, where indicated, selected veins.
The imaging may cover the common and internal iliac arteries, their branches, and other relevant pelvic blood vessels.
The patient may be instructed to remain still or briefly hold their breath during certain sequences to reduce motion-related image distortion.
After image acquisition, the radiographer checks the images to ensure that the required vascular sequences have been obtained.
If contrast has been administered, the intravenous cannula is removed when appropriate.
The acquired images are reviewed by the radiologist, who prepares the report based on the vascular findings and available clinical information.
