MRI and MRV Brain

Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) is a  sort of MRI that analyzes veins without revealing the underlying tissues. Such a scan would usually need the injection of a contrast substance to improve the clarity of the veins.

Why done?

MRI + MRV assists in  diagnosing the blood flow, detrimental clots, and the deep thrombosis in the structural vein.

Procedure

This diagnostic process produces comprehensive pictures of organs and structures inside the body using a huge magnet, radio frequencies, and a computer. The MRV visualizes the veins using magnetic resonance imaging and intravenous (IV) contrast dye.

How to prepare for the test?

You don’t need to fast, if contrast is recommended then observe fasting 4-5 hours prior to the scan. Need to change into a hospital gown and no electronic devices allowed during the scans.

Required documents:

• Doctor's prescription slip
• Documents related to medical history
• Any valid ID proof for verification

Aftercare: 

After your scans you can return to your old routine, but if contrast is given take rest for the day and drink enough water to hydrate and flush residue. If you see any conditions arising, contact your doctor immediately. Stay away of children and ladies for one week.
