MR angiography of neck arteries is a safe, high-precision method without radiation exposure, providing detailed assessment of carotid and vertebral arteries, jugular veins and other cervical vessels. It helps detect aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis and other vascular disorders.
Benefits
Safe
0 mSv — no ionizing radiation, non-invasive.
High accuracy
Detailed visualization of carotid, vertebral arteries and jugular veins.
Fast
Typically 30–40 minutes; with contrast up to 60 minutes.
Early detection
Identifies stenosis, aneurysms, thrombosis at early stages.
