What is MRI Angiography?

MRI Angiography is a non-invasive scan that uses strong magnets and radio waves to make clear pictures of blood vessels, arteries, and veins in the body. This scan is important for finding problems in the blood vessels, like bulging blood vessels (aneurysms), blocked arteries, and abnormal blood vessel growth. MRI Angiography can examine blood flow, detect vascular abnormalities, and provide insights into conditions affecting the brain, heart, and other organs.

Why is MRI Angiography Done?

An MRI Angiography test is performed for several reasons, including:

• Detection of artery blockages or narrowing due to conditions such as atherosclerosis.
• Aneurysm detection and monitoring the size of any vascular dilations.
• Stroke detection by visualizing abnormalities in the arteries leading to the brain.
• Evaluation of vascular diseases affecting the heart and other major blood vessels.
• Assessment of vascular health, helping to guide treatment decisions and interventions.
•  

How to Prepare for MRI Angiography?

• Avoid metal objects, including jewelry and watches, as the MRI machine uses magnets.
• Wear comfortable, metal-free clothing or be ready to change into a hospital gown.
• Inform the technician about any implants, allergies, or medical conditions (e.g., pacemaker, kidney issues).
•  

What is the Procedure for MRI Angiography?

1. Preparation: You will change into a hospital gown and remove any metal items.
2. Scanning: You will lie still on the MRI table while the machine captures detailed images of your blood vessels. The procedure typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes.
3. Contrast dye: In some cases, a contrast dye will be injected to improve the images, helping to see the blood vessels more clearly.
4. Noise Reduction: Earplugs or headphones may be provided to reduce the sound from the MRI machine.
5. Completion: After the scan, you can resume your normal activities unless you have been given a sedative. The results will be examine by a radiologist and shared with your doctor.
