MR Angiography (MRA) Brain

MRA uses a magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to create pictures of soft tissues, bones, and internal body parts. An MRA of the brain is prescribed to produce two three-dimensional images of the blood vessels.

MRA is similar to MRI but, MRA has a keen focus on blood vessels. Sometimes, this test is used to figure out if a development is an active tumor or a mass of scar tissue. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and magnetic resonance venography (MRV), These two are the special types of MRI tests that can show blood vessels in and around the brain.
