Can a cardiac mri / mra with contrast done at the mayo clinic see blocked arteries ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not so well: The test you want is a CTA (CT angiogram), not an MRA. The reason is-MR acquisition is slow and the heart is a moving structure. 64 slice CT is very fast and can capture details despite cardiac motion. (My opinion: the Mayo clinic is the best in the world! Good choice!)
