It uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the blood vessels. This can help doctors diagnose and treat various conditions related to blood flow. It is often used to evaluate the blood vessels in the head, neck, chest, abdomen, and legs. It can also be used to assess the blood flow in the <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">heart<\/strong> and evaluate the function of the<strong style=\"user-select: auto;\"> heart valves<\/strong>. MRA costs vary from <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Rs 1500 to R<\/strong><strong>s<\/strong> <strong>12000<\/strong> depending on the area of interest, city, and diagnostic center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MRI Angiography is the promotional examination because it is a non-invasive procedure with no use of catheters. Occasionally, contrast dye is introduced to provide a better view of blood vessels so as to detect blockages or narrowing of vessels or any abnormalities with much greater accuracy. This scan is good at detecting aneurysms, strokes, P.A.D. (peripheral artery disease), or other vascular problems related to the heart. Being free from the X-rays, it has a good degree of safety for most patients. Those with metal implants and\/or pacemaker shall consult with a physician prior to the scan. At large, MRA holds an important position for early diagnosis and treatment planning of a variety of vascular disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"783\" src=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MRI-Angio-purpose-1024x783.jpg\" alt=\"MRI Angiography\" class=\"wp-image-4867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MRI-Angio-purpose-1024x783.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MRI-Angio-purpose-412x315.jpg 412w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MRI-Angio-purpose-768x587.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MRI-Angio-purpose-595x455.jpg 595w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MRI-Angio-purpose.jpg 1412w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MRA Test Details in Brief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e7f5fe\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Also Known As<\/strong><\/td><td>Magnetic resonance vascular imaging, MRV, MR angiogram, MRI angiogram, Vascular MRI, Vascular MR imaging<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Purpose<\/strong><\/td><td>To assess the flow of blood through the vessels, which can help doctors diagnose problems such as the narrowing of the arteries or blood clots.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Preparation<\/strong><\/td><td>No special preparation is required. 4-6 Hours of fasting are required for contrast MRA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fasting<\/strong><\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Machine Used<\/strong><\/td><td>1.5 Tesla or 3 Tesla MRI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Reporting Time<\/strong><\/td><td>8 to 24 Hrs.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Cost<\/strong><\/td><td>Rs. 1500 &#8211;  Rs. 12000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"price\">MRI Angiography Price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost of MRI Angiography of brain and neck in various diagnostic labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Name of Labs<\/th><th>Test Price of MRI Angiography of Brain<\/th><th>Test Price of MRI Angiography of Neck<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Janta X-Ray Clinic<\/td><td>Rs 4500\/-<\/td><td>Rs 4500\/-<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pulse Imaging<\/td><td>Rs 5625\/-<\/td><td>Rs 7500\/-<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aarthi Scans<\/td><td>Rs 1800\/- to Rs 3150\/- (City-based)<\/td><td>Rs 1800\/- to 4050\/- (City-based)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Shree Krishna Diagnostics<\/td><td>Rs 4200\/-<\/td><td>Rs 4200\/-<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mahajan Imaging<\/td><td>Rs 7200\/-<\/td><td>Rs 7200\/-<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>NM Medical<\/td><td>Rs 7225\/-<\/td><td>Not Available<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vijaya Diagnostic Centre<\/td><td>Rs 12000\/-<\/td><td>Rs 10000\/-<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cost of MRA Brain and Neck in various Diagnostic Labs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost in different cities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The MRI Angiography test cost depends upon the one recommended by your healthcare professional.

conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Body Parts for which MRI Angiography is done<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">MRI Angiography Brain<\/strong>&#8211; It is a non-invasive imaging technique that is used to view the blood vessels in the brain and identify any abnormalities. It helps identify the blood flow in arteries, aneurysms, blockages, or any irregularities in blood vessels. MRA brain usually does not require contrast media. Because no contrast is given, it is a good alternative to CT angiography for patients that can&#8217;t tolerate CT contrast (iodinated contrast).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">MRI Angiography Chest<\/strong>&#8211; This test is typically used to evaluate the arteries and veins in the chest for conditions such as blockages, aneurysms, or other abnormalities. The procedure involves the injection of a contrast dye into the blood vessels to help them show up more clearly on the MRI images.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">MRI Angiography Face<\/strong>&#8211; It is used to produce detailed images of the blood vessels in the face, including the arteries and veins. This can help diagnose and evaluate conditions such as facial trauma, blood clots, and arterial blockages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">MRI Angiography Neck<\/strong>&#8211; It creates detailed images of the blood vessels in the neck and surrounding area. This diagnostic test is used to evaluate conditions such as arterial stenosis, aneurysms, or blood clots, and to plan treatment or surgical intervention if necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>MRI Angiography Abdomen<\/strong> is used to diagnose and monitor various conditions, such as abdominal aneurysms, liver and kidney diseases, and vascular abnormalities. It can also help to guide surgical procedures or interventions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of MRI Angiography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)<\/strong>: This type of MRA angiography uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the blood vessels without using contrast agents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time-of-flight (TOF) MRA:<\/strong> This type of MRA angiography uses specialized pulse sequences to create images of blood flow, allowing for the visualization of blood flow patterns in the arteries and veins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Phase-contrast (PC) MRA<\/strong>: This type of MRA angiography uses phase-sensitive techniques to measure the blood flow through the vessels, providing detailed information about the direction and velocity of blood flow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Contrast-enhanced MRA (CE-MRA)<\/strong>: This type of MRA angiography uses a contrast agent in combination with MRA techniques to enhance the visualization of blood vessels and improve diagnostic accuracy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"preparation\"><mark><mark style=\"background-color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Preparation<\/mark><\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Remove all your jewellery and any metal wearables before the MRI scan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wear loose, comfortable clothes, or the technician may provide you with a gown before the scan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unless your doctor suggests otherwise, you may take your medicines and food as usual.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Report any allergic reaction or any medical conditions, or any recent surgery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Women should always report if there are any <strong>chances of pregnancy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are claustrophobic or have an anxiety issue, mild sedatives may be beneficial before the procedure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not need to fast before the scan.

It may include information about the size and shape of the blood vessels, any blockages or abnormalities, and the overall health of the vascular system. The result may be used to diagnose conditions such as aneurysms, arterial stenosis, and vascular malformations and to guide treatment decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interpretation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The interpretation of an MRI angiography result will depend on the specific findings of the test. For example, if the test reveals a blockage in a blood vessel, the doctor may recommend further testing or treatment to address the blockage. If the test reveals an aneurysm, the doctor may recommend monitoring or surgery to repair the aneurysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, the results of an MRI angiography will be interpreted by a radiologist, who is a doctor specializing in medical imaging. The radiologist will look at the images produced by the MRI scan and will make a report of their findings. This report will be sent to the referring doctor, who will then discuss the results with the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that the interpretation of MRI angiography results can be complex and may require additional testing or follow-up exams in order to make a definitive diagnosis. If you have any questions or concerns about the results of your MRI angiography, it is important to discuss them with your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difference between MRI Angiography and MRI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>MRI<\/th><th>MRA (Angiography)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td> MRI provides a comprehensive view of the body&#8217;s internal structures.<\/td><td>MRA angiography specifically focuses on the blood vessels<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MRI is used to diagnose a wide range of conditions, including injuries, diseases, and abnormalities of the body&#8217;s organs and tissues.<\/td><td>MRA is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as aneurysms, stenosis, and other abnormalities of the blood vessels.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MRI does not typically require these additional steps.<\/td><td>MRA angiography typically uses specialized techniques and contrast agents to enhance the visibility of the blood vessels<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"783\" src=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MRI-vs-MRA-2-1024x783.jpg\" alt=\"MRI Brain vs. MRA Brain\" class=\"wp-image-4866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MRI-vs-MRA-2-1024x783.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MRI-vs-MRA-2-412x315.jpg 412w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MRI-vs-MRA-2-768x587.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MRI-vs-MRA-2-595x455.jpg 595w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MRI-vs-MRA-2.jpg 1412w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">MRI Brain vs. MRA Brain<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MRI Angiography Risks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Allergic reactions to the contrast dye used in the procedure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Damage to blood vessels from the catheter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stroke or heart attack<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kidney damage from the contrast dye<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infection at the site where the catheter was inserted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bleeding or bruising at the site where the catheter was inserted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nerve damage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blood clots<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breathing difficulties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Death, although this is very rare.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike traditional angiography, which involves inserting a catheter into the blood vessels and injecting contrast dye, MRA does not require the use of contrast dye or radiation. This makes it a safer option for patients allergic to contrast dye or at risk of radiation exposure complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key advantages of MRA is its ability to provide detailed images of the blood vessels in 3D. This allows doctors to see the blood vessels from different angles and better understand their structure and function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limitations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While MRA is generally considered safe, there are some potential risks and side effects. The strong magnetic fields used in the procedure can interfere with certain medical devices, such as pacemakers and certain types of implants. Patients with these devices may not be able to undergo MRA. Additionally, some people may experience anxiety or claustrophobia while inside the MRI scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"report\">MRA Test Sample Report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is what a sample report of MRA Brain would look like:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"840\" src=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mra-brain-sample-report.png\" alt=\"MRA Brain sample report\" class=\"wp-image-4878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mra-brain-sample-report.png 780w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mra-brain-sample-report-293x315.png 293w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mra-brain-sample-report-768x827.png 768w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mra-brain-sample-report-595x641.png 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">MRA Brain Sample Report<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, MRA is a valuable medical imaging technique that allows doctors to visualize the blood vessels in the body without the need for contrast dye or radiation. Contrast dye may still be used for better clarity. Its ability to provide detailed 3D images can help doctors diagnose and treat various conditions involving the blood vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When thinking about an MRI Angiography, it is worth weighing its pros and cons. While an MRA provides thorough visualization of the arteries without radiation, the cost may range from one city or diagnostic center to another or the area of the body being scanned. Generally speaking, prices tend to fall on the lower side at smaller centers and on the higher side at well-renowned diagnostic facilities equipped with all the latest technologies. Thus, all patients should consult their doctor to see if an MRA is appropriate for their condition. Through early diagnosis of any vascular problems, MRA can save lives by allowing timely treatment, thereby preventing further complications.

It can be used to diagnose conditions such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and blockages in the blood vessels.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1670953799750\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is MRA safe? <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">MRA is generally considered safe, as it does not use ionizing radiation. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks, such as allergic reactions to contrast agents or complications from sedation.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1670953807397\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How does MRA work?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">MRA uses a combination of a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of blood vessels. A contrast agent is typically injected into the patient&#8217;s bloodstream to help highlight the blood vessels on the images.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1670953920463\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are there any special precautions I should take before an MRA?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Patients should inform their doctor of any allergies or medical conditions they have before undergoing an MRA. They should also let their doctor know if they have any metal implants, as these can interfere with the MRI scan. It is also important for patients to follow their doctor&#8217;s instructions regarding food and drink before the procedure.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1670954031405\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What should I expect during an MRA?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">During an MRA, the patient will be asked to lie on a table that slides into the MRI machine. The procedure is typically painless, but some patients may experience discomfort from lying still for an extended period of time. The MRA scan itself typically takes 30-60 minutes.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1767785260510\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can MRI angiography detect blockage in the heart?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, MRI angiography can help detect blockages or narrowing in the heart\u2019s blood vessels by creating detailed 3D images without the need for invasive procedures.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1767785296813\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the cost of an MRI angiogram of the brain?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The cost of an MRI brain angiogram in India usually ranges between \u20b91,500 and \u20b912,000, depending on the city, diagnostic center, and whether contrast dye is used.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1767785340712\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What does MR angiography show?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">MR angiography shows the condition of blood vessels, highlighting narrowing, blockages, aneurysms, or malformations in the heart, brain, kidneys, and other parts of the body.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1767785364371\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Which test is required before angiography?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Doctors may recommend basic blood tests, kidney function tests, or allergy tests before angiography, especially if contrast dye will be used, to ensure patient safety.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-4751\" data-postid=\"4751\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-4751 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MRI Angiography (Magnetic resonance angiography) or (MRA) is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the blood vessels in the body.
