What is MR Angiography?

A magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) is a noninvasive tool that allows us to visualize your blood vessels and blood flow. An MR angiogram may be used to diagnose conditions including atherosclerosis or blood clots. This test may be performed with a contrast dye to enhance imaging of your arterial system. An MRA exam is an alternative to an invasive angiogram.

And MRA may be performed to visualize your:

  • Carotid arteries
  • Peripheral arteries
  • Pulmonary (lung) arteries
  • Renal (kidney) arteries
  • Coronary (heart) arteries
  • Arteries of your whole body if you have vasculitis or atherosclerosis
  • Aorta
