MRI - TOF Renal Angio
MRI – TOF (Time-of-Flight) Renal Angio is a specialized MRI technique used to visualize the renal arteries and assess blood flow to the kidneys without the use of contrast dye. It utilizes the natural movement of blood within vessels to create detailed images, making it a safe option for patients who cannot receive contrast agents.
This scan is highly useful in detecting narrowing (stenosis), blockages, or abnormalities in the renal arteries that may affect kidney function. It is commonly recommended for patients with high blood pressure suspected to be caused by renal artery stenosis, as well as those with kidney-related vascular conditions.
MRI TOF Renal Angio provides clear and accurate imaging of vascular structures, aiding in early diagnosis and effective treatment planning. The procedure is non-invasive, painless, and does not involve radiation.
This test is recommended for individuals:
- With uncontrolled or unexplained high blood pressure
- Suspected of having renal artery stenosis
- With reduced kidney function of unknown cause
- Unable to undergo contrast-based imaging
- Requiring a detailed evaluation of the kidney blood vessels
