What exactly is an MRA?
A. MRA (Magnetic Resonance Angiography) is a non-invasive imaging technique that is used to determine the extent of damage that may have been caused by a variety of cardiac or vascular conditions. MRA is a sophisticated diagnostic imaging technique that is performed using the same equipment as an MRI and uses a large magnet, radio waves and a computer to produce pictures of the regions of your blood vessels designated by your physician. MRAs are more advanced than the common X-ray, in that the images produced are more detailed.
