MRI of the vessels with EasyMed
EasyMed provides services for the prompt selection of clinics in Israel for vascular MRI, considering the individual needs and urgency of each patient’s examination. We deal with all organizational issues, from applying to supporting at all stages of diagnostics.
What does a vascular MRI scan show?
Vascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a high-precision diagnostic method designed to visualize the vascular system. This procedure is critical for the diagnosis and evaluation of various vascular diseases:
- Aneurysms: Identify and evaluate vascular aneurysms, including their size, shape, and location.
- Stenoses: detection and evaluation of the degree of vasoconstriction.
- Vascular lesions: diagnosis of thrombosis, embolism, and other pathologies affecting blood flow.
- Blood flow assessment: Study the state of blood flow and its changes in various parts of the vascular system.
- Vasculitis: detection and evaluation of inflammatory processes in blood vessels.
Vessels examined:
- Cerebral vessels
- Cervical vessels
- Vessels of the extremities
- Abdominal vessels
- Thoracic vessels
Vascular MRI is especially useful for patients at risk of developing vascular disease, including those who suffer from hypertension or diabetes or have a family history of vascular pathologies. The procedure makes it possible to assess risks and plan the prevention or treatment of vascular diseases, avoiding invasive diagnostic methods.
Indications for vascular MRI
Indications for MRI of blood vessels:
- Assessment of arteries and veins, including aneurysms, thrombosis, and vascular malformations.
- Diagnosis of tissue changes caused by circulatory disorders.
- Evaluation of the effectiveness of vascular surgery and stenting.
- Identification and assessment of the extent of inflammatory processes in the vessels (vasculitis).
- Vascular monitoring in patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
Importantly! Before the vascular MRI procedure, it is important to provide a complete medical history and a referral from the doctor, which will allow specialists to interpret the examination results more accurately. In some cases, special preparation may be required, including limiting food and fluid intake for a few hours before the procedure.
Preparation for the procedure
Preparation for vascular MRI includes several important steps:
- It is necessary to have all available medical reports and the results of previous examinations, especially those related to the cardiovascular system.
- All metal objects, including jewelry, watches, and clothing with metal elements, should be removed before the procedure.
- If the patient has removable medical devices, such as hearing aids or dentures, these should also be removed.
- It is important to inform your doctor of all current medical conditions and allergies, especially the contrast agent, if it will be used.
- If a contrast agent is used, you may need to abstain from eating and drinking for a few hours before the examination.
Importantly! When making an appointment for an MRI of the vessels, EasyMed specialists will provide detailed information about the preparation and answer all questions.
Vascular MRI Process
Before the MRI of the vessels, a consultation with the doctor is carried out, during which the current state of health and the patient’s medical history are discussed. Sometimes, a contrast agent may be used to improve vascular imaging.
Next, the patient lies down on the MRI machine’s table, and depending on the area being examined, the table slowly moves inside the machine. The patient needs to remain still during the scan to obtain clear images.
The duration of a vascular MRI can vary from 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the study area and the use of a contrast agent. The machine makes loud noises during the scan, so patients are usually asked to use earplugs.
After the procedure, the patient can leave the clinic immediately if no additional follow-up is required. If a contrast agent has been used, a short observation period may be necessary to monitor possible body reactions.
EasyMed helps patients access high-quality vascular MRI diagnostics in leading clinics in Israel. The company’s specialists will organize everything you need, from applying to receiving the results, ensuring comfort and prompt service.
MRI of vessels with contrast medium
MRI of blood vessels with a contrast agent is an effective diagnostic procedure that allows you to study the condition of blood vessels in detail. The injection of a contrast agent significantly increases the informative value of the examination, especially in the following cases:
- Evaluation of aneurysms: Contrast helps to accurately determine the size and structure of aneurysms and assess the risk of their rupture.
- Diagnosis of vascular stenosis: Effectively detects vasoconstrictions or blockages, critical for diagnosing ischemic conditions.
- Detection of blood clots: Contrast improves the visualization of thrombosis and other vascular formations.
- Assessment of blood supply to organs and tissues: Allows you to assess the efficiency of blood flow and identify possible pathologies.
- Post-Surgical Monitoring: Used to monitor vascular health after surgeries, including stenting and angioplasty.
Importantly! Before performing an MRI of the vessels with a contrast agent, it is necessary to notify the doctor about allergic reactions, especially to contrast materials.
Contraindications
MRI of the vessels is a modern diagnostic method that allows you to assess the condition and structure of the vascular system. However, like any medical procedure, vascular MRI has several contraindications:
Relative contraindications:
- Claustrophobia – Fear of confined spaces can cause discomfort to the patient during the procedure.
- Pregnancy, especially in the early stages, as the effects of the magnetic field on the fetus are not fully understood.
- The presence of metal implants that may be sensitive to the magnetic field.
Absolute contraindications:
- The presence of electronic medical devices in the body, such as pacemakers, that a magnetic field can damage.
- The presence of metal fragments or implants in the body that may pose a danger to the patient when exposed to a magnetic field.
For MRI with contrast:
- Allergic reactions to the components of the contrast agent.
- Renal failure occurs as the contrast agent is excreted from the body through the kidneys.
Importantly! EasyMed provides full support and guidance at all stages of the vascular MRI procedure. We assist our clients in choosing the right clinic and time for the examination, considering their needs and medical indications.
Safety of the procedure
Vascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a detailed and safe examination method that allows you to visualize blood vessels without ionizing radiation.
The doctor determines the frequency of vascular MRI and depends on the specific medical indications and the patient’s state of health. The procedure may be recommended to monitor the condition of the vessels after surgical interventions or to assess the risk of vascular complications.
Vascular MRI is considered safe because it does not expose the patient to ionizing radiation, making the procedure suitable for periodic monitoring if necessary.
