What's included
5 deliverables in this treatment
- MR angiography of the selected vascular territory (brain, carotids, aorta or lower limbs)
- Native time-of-flight technique — no injection — for cerebral vessels
- Contrast-enhanced option for carotids, aorta and leg arteries (variant pricing)
- Siemens 1.5T/3T scanner with Deep Resolve AI reconstruction
- Radiologist's report; on-site angiology and vascular surgery clinics for follow-up
MR angiography at Sagena Frýdek-Místek maps blood flow and vessel anatomy without catheters or radiation — covering the brain arteries, carotid and vertebral arteries, aorta and lower-limb vessels. Native (contrast-free) MRA visualises cerebral vessels for aneurysm and stenosis screening, while contrast-enhanced MRA gives high-detail studies of the carotids, aortic segments or leg arteries. Both run on Siemens 1.5T/3T scanners with self-pay appointments typically within 24–72 hours.
About this treatment
MR angiography (MRA) images arteries and veins non-invasively — no arterial puncture as in catheter angiography and no radiation or iodinated contrast as in CT angiography, which makes it well suited both to diagnosis and to repeated follow-up.
Native (non-contrast) MRA
uses time-of-flight techniques that exploit flowing blood's own signal — no injection needed at all. It is the standard screening study for intracranial aneurysms (relevant for people with a family history or polycystic kidney disease), arterial stenoses and vascular malformations of the brain, and is included in Sagena's whole-body programme as intracranial angiography.
