MRI - Brain with TOF MRA
MRI – Brain with TOF MRA (Time-of-Flight Magnetic Resonance Angiography) is an advanced imaging procedure that combines detailed brain MRI with specialized angiography to visualize blood vessels in the brain without the need for contrast injection. It uses the natural flow of blood to generate clear images of arteries.
This scan is highly effective in detecting vascular abnormalities such as aneurysms, arterial narrowing (stenosis), blockages, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and other circulatory issues. It also provides detailed assessment of brain tissues, helping in the diagnosis of stroke, tumors, infections, and neurological conditions.
MRI Brain with TOF MRA is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot receive contrast agents due to allergies or kidney issues. It is safe, non-invasive, and does not involve radiation, making it suitable for comprehensive brain and vascular evaluation.
The purpose of this MRI – Brain with TOF MRA test is to:
- Evaluate brain structures and blood vessels
- Detect aneurysms or vascular malformations
- Identify arterial narrowing or blockages
- Assess risk or presence of stroke
- Diagnose neurological or vascular conditions
- Provide non-contrast vascular imaging
