MRI Angiography Upper Limb With Contrast

It is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses a strong magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer to create 2-D or 3-D images of the blood vessels in the upper limb. Your doctor may advise this test to look at the aneurysm (ballooning of a blood vessel), stenosis (narrowing of a blood vessel), vasospasm (spasm of a blood vessel), blood clots, blockage, tumours, bleeding and detect any abnormal blood vessels. It is also helpful to plan and check the efficacy of treatments for blockages including stents and grafts. A contrast agent is used to better visualize the vessels.
