MRA TRICKS(ONE PART)-CONTRAST

Unlike a single snapshot of the blood vessels, TRICKS provides multiple sequential phases of contrast passage. This helps show the timing and pattern of blood flow through abnormal vessels.

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.

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

Yes. Conventional MRA may provide images of the vessels at a particular phase, whereas TRICKS uses rapid sequential contrast-enhanced imaging to evaluate how contrast moves through the vascular system over time.
