Thoracic aorta MRI angiography

Angio-RM Aorta Torácica

This non-invasive diagnostic procedure uses an electromagnetic field and radio waves (from a transmitter and receiver) to acquire high-definition anatomical images of the thoracic aorta. It is a radiation-free procedure. In most cases, paramagnetic contrast (gadolinium) is required. It enables non-invasive angiographic studies using a gadolinium injection, with subsequent 2D and 3D reconstruction using specialised workstations. It also includes an aortic valve examination, which is essential information if the patient needs surgery. This test is especially indicated in patients requiring surgical processing (such as pre-surgical vascular mapping), in the tracking of patients with aortic aneurysms, etc.
