MR Thoracic Aorta Angiography With Contrast

The MRA Thoracic aorta test produces pictures of the Thoracic (chest-related) portion of the aorta (blood vessel). Therefore, the contrast enhances the MR scan's sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy by improving the internal organs' visibility.

This examination evaluates thoracic aortic trauma or injury, abnormal blood vessel formation and interconnections, and internal bleeding.

Why is it done?

* To assess thoracic aorta damage.
* Evaluate blood vessel or aneurysm weaknesses.
* To inspect blood arteries for plaque or clot obstructions.
* To evaluate blood vessel abnormalities.
* To evaluate tumours' blood supply.
* To detect haemorrhage.
