MRI Scan for Angiogram in Hyderabad
An angiogram is a contrast MRI scan done to visualize the vessels in any part or specific organ or body part. When the angiogram is done for the brain, it is called a brain angiogram or a cerebral angiogram. It can be done using an MRI machine with the help of a contrast dye that can reach the brain vessels. A picture of the brain angiogram can help diagnose severe brain conditions caused due to or involving the blood vessels. It is a very vital scan for neurology and neurosurgery. It is not a painful or invasive and relatively safe investigation.

FAQs
1. What alternatives are there to an MRI of the brain?
We can also do a Ct angiogram in place of an MRI of the brain. It is a safe investigation and may be used as a preliminary examination but is less sensitive than a brain MRI. Brain angiography is a more detailed investigation but is more invasive and high risk. The MRI is a better investigation for vascular diseases of the brain.
2. What is the procedure for an MRI of the brain?
The doctors may first ask you questions about implants, kidney disorders, previous surgeries and allergies. The medical staff will ask you to change into the hospital gown, remove all metal belongings, and even request you remove your hearing aid if you are wearing one. Then the technicians can ask you to lie on a bed which goes into a tunnel-like machine wherein you can speak to the doctors and receive instructions through a microphone. They will then start the machine and ask you to stay still for a few minutes so they can take a picture of the specific part. They use magnetic waves and a computer to take an image of the body. The scan can go on for between 45-90 minutes. There are usually no side effects. Sometimes, the scan can cause an allergy which could even be life-threatening.
