MRA OF IVC

An MRA of the IVC, or Magnetic Resonance Angiography of the Inferior Vena Cava, is a non-invasive imaging test that uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to create detailed pictures of the inferior vena cava, a large vein that carries blood from the lower body to the heart. This test helps doctors assess the structure and function of the IVC, detect any blockages or abnormalities, and guide appropriate treatment if necessary. During the procedure, you will lie on a table that slides into a large MRI machine, and it is important to remain still to ensure clear images are captured.
