MRI - Angio TOF
MRI – Angio TOF (Time-of-Flight Magnetic Resonance Angiography) is an advanced imaging procedure used to visualize blood vessels without the use of contrast dye. It relies on the natural flow of blood to produce high-resolution images of arteries.
This technique is commonly used to assess blood vessels in the brain, neck, and other parts of the body. It is highly effective in detecting vascular abnormalities such as aneurysms, arterial narrowing (stenosis), blockages, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
MRI Angio TOF is especially useful for patients who cannot undergo contrast-based imaging due to allergies or kidney-related conditions. It provides valuable information about blood flow and vascular health, aiding in the diagnosis and management of various conditions including stroke and vascular diseases.
The procedure is safe, painless, and does not involve radiation, making it suitable for repeated imaging if required.
This test is recommended for individuals:
- Suspected of vascular disorders
- Experiencing symptoms like headache, dizziness, or weakness
- With risk factors for stroke
- Unable to undergo contrast-based imaging
- With abnormal findings on other imaging tests
- Requiring vascular evaluation
