FAQs

Is MRA Neck – Contrast different from a routine MRI of the neck?

Yes. A routine neck MRI primarily evaluates soft tissues, muscles, lymph nodes, and other anatomical structures, whereas MRA is specifically optimized to visualize blood vessels and vascular anatomy.

Who may need MRA Neck – Contrast?

MRA Neck – Contrast may be recommended for patients with suspected narrowing or blockage of the neck arteries, unexplained neurological symptoms, transient ischemic attack (TIA), stroke, suspected arterial dissection, aneurysm, or other vascular abnormalities.

Can MRA Neck help evaluate stroke or TIA?

Yes. It can help investigate vascular causes of stroke or TIA, particularly abnormalities involving the carotid or vertebral arteries.

Do I need any preparation before MRA Neck – Contrast?

Preparation depends on the centre's protocol. Inform the MRI team about kidney disease, previous contrast reactions, pregnancy or possible pregnancy, metallic implants, pacemakers, and other implanted medical devices. Follow any fasting instructions provided by the centre.

Will I need additional tests after MRA Neck – Contrast?

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