Magnetic Resonance Angiography Treatment in India
About Magnetic Resonance Angiography
Key Highlights
-
Non-invasive procedure with no radiation exposure.Provides high-resolution, 3D images of blood vessels.Excellent for evaluating blood flow and detecting vascular abnormalities.Safer for patients with kidney problems or iodine contrast allergies compared to CT angiography.Typically requires no hospital stay and minimal recovery time.
Who is this surgery for?
- Suspected brain aneurysm, stroke, or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
- Evaluation of carotid artery stenosis (narrowing) in the neck.
- Assessment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the legs or arms.
- Detection of aortic aneurysms or dissections.
- Planning for surgeries involving blood vessels, such as bypass grafts.
- Diagnosing arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) or fistulas.
- Monitoring known vascular conditions or post-surgical results.
- Investigating causes of unexplained headaches or pulsatile tinnitus.
How to prepare
- Inform your doctor and radiologist about any metal implants, pacemakers, or pregnancy.
- Remove all jewelry, eyeglasses, hearing aids, and metal objects before the scan.
- Wear comfortable, metal-free clothing; you may be given a gown.
- Follow specific instructions regarding eating, drinking, and medications; fasting may be required if contrast is used.
- Inform the staff about any known allergies, especially to gadolinium-based contrast agents.
- Complete a safety screening form to ensure MRI compatibility.
Risks & possible complications
- Allergic reaction to the gadolinium-based contrast dye (rare).
- Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), a very rare but serious skin and organ condition in patients with severe kidney disease.
- Discomfort from lying still in the confined MRI machine (claustrophobia).
- Heating or movement of certain metallic implants, which is why thorough screening is essential.
- Loud knocking noises from the machine, which are normal but may require ear protection.
Recovery & hospital stay
- No special recovery period is typically needed; you can resume normal activities immediately.
- If a sedative was given, you will need someone to drive you home and should avoid operating machinery for 24 hours.
- Drink plenty of fluids to help flush any contrast dye from your system.
- The radiologist will analyze the images and send a report to your referring doctor, who will discuss the results with you.
- Contact your doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms like rash, itching, or shortness of breath after the procedure.

Anika Brown, a 42-year-old high school...
Anika Brown, a 42-year-old high school art teacher and mother of two, began experiencing sudden, severe headaches and episodes of dizziness while grading papers. Her primary care physician, concerned about her family history of aneurysms (her mother had one), referred her for an MRA. The radiologist, Dr. Evans, recommended the scan to non-invasively visualize the blood vessels in her brain and rule out a cerebral aneurysm. Anika was anxious during the procedure, finding the confined space of the MRI machine claustrophobic, but the technologist's calm guidance and the open communication from Dr. Evans's team helped her through it. The MRA results were clear, showing no aneurysm, only a minor vascular irregularity unrelated to her symptoms, which were later attributed to migraines and stress. Anika's emotional journey shifted from profound fear of a life-threatening condition to immense relief and a proactive commitment to managing her stress and migraines, feeling like she had been given a 'second chance' with her family.
