MR Angiography Spinal

Why is it done? 

The following are common causes of a spinal angiogram:

• Demonstrate blood vessel narrowing or blockage.
• Demonstrate excessively dilated blood vessels.
• Display bleeding areas.
• Show signs of coronary artery disease (hardening of blood vessels) in the spine.
• To detect intraspinal aneurysms (abnormal outpouchings of the vessel wall) or other blood vessel abnormalities inside the spine.

How does one prepare for the test? 

• Notify your technician of metallic implants such as surgical staples, clips, or pacemakers. You may also need to remove metal objects such as jewellery or watches.
