Upper limb arterial MRI angiography

Angio-RM extremidades superiores

A non-invasive diagnostic test that involves studying the arteries of the shoulder girdle, arm, forearm and hand, obtaining high-definition anatomical images using an electromagnetic field and radio waves (with transmitter and receiver). The use of paramagnetic intravenous contrast (gadolinium) is essential. However, it is a radiation-free procedure. The quality of the images allows for 2D and 3D reconstructions. It is particularly recommended for patients with suspected vascular disease in both extremities, patients with vascular disease in both extremities as a vascular map prior to treatment (percutaneous or surgical), as a pre-surgical vascular map in patients with bone or muscle injuries requiring surgery, etc.
