Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a radiological process that creates fine detailed images of the body without exposure to radiation. The radiofrequency waves produced in the presence of a strong magnetic field can generate cross sectional images that are then reconstructed as 3 dimensional pictures by a computer.
Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) is a modification of the same process that helps to create a visual of the blood vessels in the body. The images of the blood vessels are very detailed and can be seen in all dimensions. The dye injected helps to show blood vessels in most parts of the body. MRA is the preferred testing option in individuals with a stroke, aneurysm and blood vessel problems in diabetics.
About Bay Area Heart & Body Scan
HeartScan is a leading service provider of non-invasive preventative and diagnostic services that will help you towards your goal of a healthier life.
HeartScan uses Electron Beam Tomography (EBT or EBCT) technology, a non-invasive diagnostic imaging tool, to screen patients for several leading causes of death. The EBT scanner is an extremely fast, ultra low radiation diagnostic imaging tool that can take cardiac and other images between heartbeats. Special software manipulates these images to give your physician a clear picture of each scanned organ.
EBT is the undisputed gold standard in non-invasive coronary imaging with years of scientific validation in cardiology and radiology literature (many times faster than slower, less-proven, mechanical CT scanners) and is used at many of the major university heart centers worldwide.
