3 Things you should consider before scheduling an MRA Exam...

Why does equipment matter?

The quality and resolution of the MRA images that are taken during the exam are important for accurate diagnosis or evaluation from a referring physician. You want to avoid something being missed or having to repeat the exam. When it comes to your health, you want the best possible medical imaging, as your wellness depends on this.

Patient Experience

Medical imaging can be overwhelming. The exam can last between 15-30 minutes and If you have ever been in a still position for this long, you will know that it can quickly get frustrating if you are not comfortable or at ease. Patient comfort is one of our utmost priorities. We address this through ambient controls, soothing music, and the most comfortable equipment options available.

Exam Results

If you are in need of an MRA imaging exam it is because a referring physician has requested it or you would like to evaluate if there are any abnormalities or problems in an area of your body. You should make sure that the results of the exam itself are accurate and professionals interpreting those results are experienced and thorough. We pride ourselves on the quality of exams we perform and our talented Radiologists..

MRA IMAGING

What is an MRA Exam?

Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) an advanced imaging technique that uses a powerful magnetic field and radio frequency waves which allows visualization of blood vessels with subtraction of surrounding tissue.

MRA enables our neurovascular radiologists to evaluate both healthy and diseased vessels in the brain, neck, heart, chest, abdomen, pelvis, upper, and lower extremities. MRA is often prescribed by a physician when suspecting Vessel Stenosis, Aneurysm, Dissection and other related diagnosis. This exam does not use ionizing radiation but traditionally requires an injection of a contrast material called gadolinium, however at Unique Imaging we can offer state of the art techniques called TRANCE / QISS / NATIVE MRA which allows non-contrast MRA imaging of blood vessels including renal arteries, lower extremities (Runoff), brain and neck for patient with renal insufficiency.

F.A.Q. About MRA Exams

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE AND WHAT TO EXPECT?

If the exam was order without contrast, no preparation is required.

If the test was ordered with contrast by your physician you will be asked not to consume food 4 hours prior your exam to avoid complications during the rare event of an anaphylactic contrast reaction. In addition, patients 60 years or older require a blood test for renal (Kidney) functions. It is very important to provide us with relevant previous exams such as CT and/or MRI for our radiologist to compare.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING AN MRA EXAM WITH CONTRAST?

If the test was ordered with contrast by your physician you will be required to receive a contrast injection into a vein in your arm. The technologist may ask if you have asthma or if you have allergies to certain drugs. The contrast material used for an MRI exam is gadolinium which does not contain iodine and is less likely to cause an allergic reaction.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY EXAM?

You may be asked to wear a gown during the exam or you may be allowed to wear your own clothing if it is loose-fitting and has no metal fasteners. The technologist will provide a secure locker to place all your belongings as no foreign objects are allowed in the MRI suite for your own safety.
