What is Brain MRA (blood vessel MRI, without contrast)? Read the full explainer →

Brain MRA (blood vessel MRI, without contrast)

An MRA maps the arteries inside the head rather than the brain tissue itself. It is used to look for an aneurysm, a narrowed or blocked vessel, or a tear in an artery wall. This version needs no injected dye, because moving blood provides the signal on its own.
