MRA provides detailed images of blood vessels without having to insert a catheter directly into an artery. The fellowship trained radiologists at Windsong have a great deal of experience in the non-invasive imaging of blood vessels looking for potential aneurisms, stenosis (narrowing), or occlusions (blockage of blood vessels) that will give you and your doctors the necessary answers. There is no significant recovery time associated with an MRA, and the cost is substantially less, when compared to standard angiography. A very small amount of gadolinium based contrast medium may be injected, unlike catheter angiography, which uses a large volume of iodine-based contrast. MR contrast is very safe and the risk of an allergic reaction is extremely low.
