MRI angiography with EasyMed
At EasyMed, we assist in the organization of MR angiography, choosing the best clinics in Israel and providing comprehensive support to the client from the moment of application to the receipt of results.
Our goal is to reduce the time interval between making an appointment for the procedure and its implementation, which is especially critical when diagnosing vascular diseases.
What does MRI angiography show?
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRI angiography) is a specialized MRI designed to visualize blood vessels. This procedure allows for a detailed study of the condition of arteries and veins, providing valuable information for diagnosing and treating vascular diseases. Here’s what MRI angiography can detect:
- Aneurysms: Enlargement or bulging of the wall of a blood vessel.
- Stenosis: narrowing or blockage of blood vessels, including those caused by atherosclerosis.
- Vasculitis: inflammation of the walls of blood vessels.
- Thrombosis: the formation of blood clots inside the vessels.
- Vascular dissection: violation of the integrity of the vessel wall.
- Congenital vascular anomalies: arteriovenous malformations, fistulas.
- Assessment after vascular surgery: monitoring the condition of the vessels after surgery.
MRI angiography is an important tool in cardiology, neurology and angiology. This method makes it possible to assess the condition of blood vessels non-invasively, determine the presence of pathologies and plan appropriate treatment.
Indications for MR angiography
Magnetic resonance angiography (MR angiography) is extremely important for diagnosing and evaluating vascular diseases, including aneurysms, stenoses, and vasculitis.
- Suspected aneurysms or other cerebral vascular abnormalities.
- Assessment of vascular permeability in stenosis and occlusions.
- Examination of the state of blood vessels after surgery.
- Diagnosis of vasculitis and other inflammatory vascular diseases.
- Vascular monitoring in patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
Importantly! Before an MR angiography procedure, it is important to provide a referral from your doctor and a complete medical history and follow all preparation instructions, including the presence of metal implants, allergies to contrast agents, or other health conditions.
Preparation for the procedure
Preparation for MR angiography includes the following steps:
- The patient should provide a complete medical history, including information about any current medical conditions, medications taken, and allergic reactions, especially to contrast agents, if any.
- Before the procedure, discussing the goals of the examination with the doctor, the possible risks, and the expected results is recommended.
- All metal jewelry and objects, including watches, jewelry, and piercings, must be removed before the procedure.
- If the patient has removable medical devices, such as hearing aids or dentures, they should be removed before the procedure.
- If the procedure involves using a contrast agent, the patient may need to observe certain dietary restrictions and fluid intake for a few hours before the examination.
- It is important to tell your doctor about any current kidney disease, as the contrast medium is excreted through the kidneys.
Importantly! When making an appointment for an MRI angiography, EasyMed specialists will provide detailed instructions on preparing for the procedure. We guarantee professional support at every stage, ensuring maximum comfort and safety for our clients.
MR Angiography Process
The MR angiography procedure begins with the preliminary preparation of the patient, including a consultation with the doctor and an examination. In some cases, it may be necessary to inject a contrast agent to improve vascular imaging.
In the next step, the patient lies on the MRI machine table, which is moved into the scanner tunnel. It is important to remain still during the scan, as movements can affect the accuracy of the images.
The MR angiography procedure takes 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the examination scope. The machine may make loud noises during the scan, so patients are offered earplugs or headphones.
At the end of the procedure, the patient can leave the clinic immediately if additional follow-up is not required. If contrast media is required, a short observation period may be required to monitor the patient’s condition.
EasyMed provides quick access to MR angiography services, offering convenient solutions for scheduling appointments in leading clinics in Israel. Our team will help with organizational issues, ensuring maximum comfort and efficiency at every stage of the diagnostic process.
MRI angiography with contrast medium
- Detection of aneurysms and vascular malformations: Improves the accuracy of diagnosing vascular abnormalities, including aneurysms.
- Evaluation after stenting or other vascular surgeries: Allows you to evaluate the results of surgical interventions and their effectiveness.
- Diagnosis of thrombosis and vascular occlusion: Detects abnormalities in blood flow, blood clots, or vascular occlusion.
- Atherosclerotic Change Research: Helps in detecting and assessing the degree of atherosclerosis.
- Examination for chronic headaches and dizziness: Evaluate the vascular causes of head problems.
Importantly! Before performing MRI angiography with contrast, it is important to notify the doctor about allergic reactions, especially to contrast agents and the current state of health.
Contraindications
MR angiography is a highly accurate diagnostic method that allows you to visualize the vascular system. However, like any medical procedure, it has several contraindications:
Relative contraindications:
- Claustrophobia is a fear of confined spaces that can cause discomfort during the procedure.
- Presence of metal implants in the body sensitive to the magnetic field, such as surgical clips or staples.
- Pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, because of the potential risk to fetal development.
Absolute contraindications:
- Availability of electronic implants, such as pacemakers or cochlear implants.
- Severe renal disease, mainly if a contrast agent is used.
- Severe claustrophobia that cannot be corrected with medication
In MR angiography with contrast:
- Allergic reaction to the components of the contrast agent.
- Severe impaired renal function, as the contrast is excreted through the kidneys.
Importantly! At EasyMed, we focus on the safety and comfort of each customer. Before ordering MR angiography, we carefully analyze the patient’s medical history to eliminate the risks associated with contraindications. Our specialists provide full information support at every stage of the procedure, helping clients to prepare for the examination.
Safety of the procedure
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a specialized form of MRI used to image blood vessels in detail. It is a safe procedure, as it does not involve ionizing radiation and is usually performed without a contrast agent.
The frequency of MR angiography depends on the specific medical indications and the need to monitor the condition of the blood vessels. Unlike traditional angiography, which may involve invasive catheter insertion, MRA is non-invasive and minimizes risks to the patient.
In general, MRI angiography provides important information about the condition of the vessels without harming the patient’s health, which makes it the preferred method for the regular diagnosis and control of vascular diseases.
