MRI Scan for upper limb angiography in Hyderabad
Angiography is an investigation to check the blood supply of a particular organ or part of the body. An upper limb angiography can be done to examine the blood supply to the upper limb, that is, the arm, forearm, and hand. Sometimes due to some diseases due to arteritis, thrombosis, plaque growths or injuries, the blood supply to the upper limbs might get compromised, and there might be pain or tingling sensation in such a limb. On rare occasions, the upper limb may also be gangrene after limb ischemia. The doctor can do an MRI Angiography scan to check the blood supply in such a limb to rule out alternative diagnoses and further treatment.

FAQs
Is MRI angiography of the upper limb painful?
The MRI angiography for the upper limb is not an invasive process. There may be some pricks because of the injection of the contrast dye, but otherwise, it is a pain-free and safe process. If you feel pain, itching, burning sensation, or breathlessness, alert the doctors around you.
What is a contrast in MRI angiography of the upper limb?
Contrast is a dye used to highlight the blood vessels through which it flows so they can be seen on the scan. It helps to delineate the normal anatomy and any abnormalities like aneurysm, plaque, rupture, etc. The dye can be water-based or oil-based. Gadolinium contrast is more commonly used.
It is safer than the oil-based contrast but is contraindicated for use in kidney disease patients and those who had a previous reaction to it.
