MR angiography is a non-invasive method for examining blood vessels using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It allows detailed visualization of arteries and veins and helps detect aneurysms, thrombosis, stenosis, and other vascular pathologies without the use of X-ray radiation.
When is MR angiography required?
In cases of suspected aneurysms, vascular malformations, stenosis, and thrombosis. In cardiology — for diagnosing coronary artery disease and assessing the condition of coronary arteries. In neurology — for stroke, transient ischemic attacks, and chronic headaches. In phlebology — for varicose veins and disorders of venous outflow.
How is the examination performed?
The patient is positioned inside a magnetic resonance scanner, where vascular imaging is performed with or without the use of a contrast agent. The examination lasts approximately 20–40 minutes, does not require invasive intervention, and usually does not require special preparation.
Main advantages of MR angiography in Belarus
Safety due to the absence of X-ray radiation. High-resolution visualization of vascular structures with the ability to detect pathologies at early stages. The possibility to examine vessels of the brain, neck, extremities, heart, and internal organs.
Medical centers in Belarus are equipped with modern MRI systems that allow detailed vascular diagnostics without health risks. Experienced specialists ensure accurate examinations and reliable interpretation of results.
