How will the exam be performed
MRI Angiography
MR Angiography is an examination of blood vessels (mainly arteries). After injecting a contrast medium intravenously, MR Angiography can be used to examine most of the large arteries, but generally focuses on just a few such as the aorta, leg arteries, carotids, etc.
MRI Arthrography
MR Arthrography is an examination of bone joints. The contrast medium is injected directly into a joint (knee, shoulder, etc.).
Central Nervous System
Examinations of Central Nervous System (brain and spinal cord) are performed after a contrast medium is injected intravenously. This is one of the main indications for MRI.
Pelvic/abdominal organs
Pelvic Abdominal examinations mainly concern the liver, pancreas and genital organs (uterus, prostate). The contrast medium is injected intravenously.
