FAQs

Can MRA detect blocked arteries in the legs?

Yes. It can demonstrate arterial occlusions or significantly reduced blood flow and help determine the location and extent of the abnormality.

Is MRA Lower Limbs different from a routine MRI of the legs?

Yes. A routine MRI mainly evaluates bones, muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues, whereas MRA is specifically optimized to assess blood vessels and arterial circulation.

Do I need any preparation before MRA Lower Limbs?

Preparation depends on the centre's protocol. If contrast is planned, inform the MRI team about kidney disease, previous contrast reactions, pregnancy or possible pregnancy, metallic implants, pacemakers, and other implanted medical devices. You may also be asked to follow specific fasting instructions.

Will I need additional tests after MRA Lower Limbs?

Depending on the findings, your doctor may recommend Doppler ultrasound, CT angiography, catheter angiography, blood tests, or consultation with a vascular surgeon or interventional radiologist.

Who may need MRA Lower Limbs?

MRA Lower Limbs may be recommended for patients with leg pain while walking, reduced blood flow to the legs or feet, suspected peripheral arterial disease, non-healing wounds, cold or discoloured extremities, or suspected arterial narrowing or blockage.
