MRI - Brain with TOF MRA & MRV
MRI – Brain with TOF MRA & MRV is an advanced imaging procedure that combines routine brain MRI with Time-of-Flight Magnetic Resonance Angiography (TOF MRA) and Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) to assess both arterial and venous blood vessels in the brain without the use of contrast dye.
This scan provides detailed visualization of brain tissues along with arteries and veins, making it highly effective in detecting a wide range of conditions such as aneurysms, arterial stenosis, vascular malformations (AVMs), venous thrombosis, and other circulatory abnormalities. It also helps in diagnosing stroke, tumors, infections, and neurological disorders.
MRI Brain with TOF MRA & MRV is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot receive contrast agents due to allergies or kidney-related issues. It is non-invasive, safe, and does not involve radiation, offering a complete evaluation of cerebral circulation and brain structure.
This test is recommended for individuals:
- Experiencing severe or recurrent headaches
- With symptoms of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)
- Suspected of arterial or venous abnormalities
- With neurological symptoms like dizziness or weakness
- Suspected of venous sinus thrombosis
- Unable to undergo contrast-based imaging
