MRI – Peripheral Angio Without Contrast is an advanced imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to visualize blood vessels in the peripheral regions of the body, such as the arms and legs, without the need for contrast injection. Specialized MRI sequences allow clear imaging of arteries and veins, helping assess blood flow and vascular structure.

This scan is particularly useful for patients who cannot receive contrast agents due to allergies, kidney issues, or other medical concerns. It helps in diagnosing conditions such as peripheral arterial disease (PAD), blockages, narrowing (stenosis), aneurysms, and vascular malformations.

MRI provides high-resolution images that assist doctors in evaluating circulation problems, identifying abnormalities, and planning appropriate treatment. The procedure is safe, painless, and does not involve radiation.

This test is recommended for individuals:

• Experiencing leg pain while walking (claudication)
• With suspected peripheral arterial disease
• Having poor circulation or numbness in limbs
• With risk factors such as diabetes or hypertension
• Unable to undergo contrast-based imaging
• Requiring detailed vascular evaluation
