FAQs

How is vessel wall MRI different from routine MR angiography?

MR angiography primarily evaluates the blood-flow channel or lumen of a vessel, whereas vessel wall MRI focuses on the structure and characteristics of the vessel wall itself. The two techniques may complement each other.

Do I need any preparation before the examination?

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 specific instructions provided.

Will I need additional tests after the MRI?

Depending on the findings, your doctor may recommend MR angiography, CT angiography, digital subtraction angiography, blood tests, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, or specialist vascular/neurological evaluation.

Who may need MRI Brain Vessel Wall Imaging – Contrast?

This examination may be recommended for patients with unexplained narrowing of brain arteries, suspected blood-vessel inflammation, recurrent or unexplained stroke, suspected arterial dissection, aneurysms, or other intracranial vascular abnormalities.
