MR Angiography Brain With Contrast

The MR Angiography Brain With Contrast is a scan of the blood vessels leading to the brain. In this test, a special intravenous (IV) dye called “contrast” is often used to get clear and better vision during the scan.

Why done?

An MRA with contrast of the brain is done to study the blood vessels leading to the brain to check if there is a bulge (aneurysm), a clot, or a narrowing (stenosis) because of plaque.

Procedure

For an MR Angio Brain with contrast, a device is positioned around the head. Your doctor will insert a catheter (IV line) into a view in your hand or arm to inject the contrast material.

How does one prepare for test?

Your doctor may advise you to not drink and eat for 2-4 hours before the test. If you have any metallic device like an artificial heart valve or pacemaker, you should let your doctor immediately.
