Service Providers for MRI of Neck Vessels
An MRI of the neck vessels, also known as Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) of the neck, is a diagnostic procedure that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the blood vessels in the neck, including the carotid arteries and vertebral arteries. It is commonly used to assess conditions like atherosclerosis, aneurysms, blood clots, or narrowing of the arteries that could lead to stroke. Preparation may involve fasting for a few hours if contrast agents are used. During the procedure, you will lie still in the MRI machine for about 20-30 minutes. The scan is painless, and afterward, you can resume normal activities. A radiologist will interpret the results.
