FAQs about Peripheral MRI Angiography in Chandigarh CHD
What is Peripheral MRI Angiography?
Peripheral MRI Angiography is a non-invasive imaging technique used to visualize the blood vessels outside of the brain and heart. It involves the use of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine to produce detailed images of the peripheral arteries and veins, helping doctors assess conditions such as blockages, aneurysms, and other vascular issues.
How does Peripheral MRI Angiography work?
During Peripheral MRI Angiography, a contrast material may be injected into your bloodstream to enhance the visibility of blood vessels in the images produced by the MRI scan. The MRI machine uses strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed images, which can help doctors evaluate blood flow and diagnose potential vascular problems.
What should I expect during the procedure?
When you arrive for your Peripheral MRI Angiography at Best MRI Scan Chandigarh, a technologist will explain the procedure and answer any questions you have. You'll be positioned on a table that slides into the MRI machine. It’s important to stay still during the scan, which typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour. After the procedure, you can resume normal activities.
Are there any risks associated with Peripheral MRI Angiography?
Peripheral MRI Angiography is considered safe. However, some patients may experience allergic reactions to the contrast material used. It's essential to inform your physician about any allergies or kidney problems prior to the scan. The magnetic fields used in MRI do not pose any known health risks, but individuals with implantable devices like pacemakers should consult their doctor.
