Cerebral MR angiography

Cerebral MR angiography is performed to assess abnormalities in the cerebral arterial blood flow system.

Cerebral MR angiography or cerebral MRA may be required in the following cases:

• aneurysm, stroke, vasospasm, vasculitis,
• internal carotid artery, cerebral artery, basilar artery occlusion and narrowing,
• arteriovenous malformation (AVM),
• arteriosclerosis.

Cerebral MRA allows the detection of pathological changes in the main vessels of the brain: depletion of the peripheral vascular pattern of the anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries (PMA, SMA, ZMA) on both sides.

In addition to plain (native MRI) examination, the contrast-enhanced examination is also available.
