Carotid MR Angiography With Contrast

Carotid angiography also called an angiogram, is a test that helps find out if you have a disease in your carotid arteries. Doctors do this test to see how blood flows through the large arteries in your neck. 

Carotid angiography detects blockages in the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the head and brain. Providers inject contrast dye with a catheter to see blocked arteries.

Why is it done?

If your doctor thinks you have carotid artery disease, he or she may suggest that you get a carotid angiography. You may also get this test if you've had a mini-stroke (also called a transient ischemic attack) or a stroke.
