FAQs

Can this examination be used after a vascular injury?

Yes. MRA may be useful for assessing arterial injury following trauma or other vascular procedures, depending on the clinical indication.

Can MRA Lower Limbs help in treatment planning?

Yes. It can provide detailed information about vascular anatomy and the location and extent of disease, which may assist in planning procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, bypass surgery, or other vascular interventions.

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

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

Who may need MRA Lower Limbs – Contrast?

This examination 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.

Do I need any preparation before the examination?

Preparation depends on the imaging centre's protocol and may include fasting for a specified period. Inform the MRI team about kidney disease, previous contrast reactions, pregnancy or possible pregnancy, metallic implants, pacemakers, and other implanted medical devices.

Will I need additional tests after MRA Lower Limbs – Contrast?

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.
