MRI or MRA? CTA angi: The question's somewhat vague. Are you asking about 3-D vs. 2-D MRI? Or MRI vs. MRA (Magnetic resonance angiogram)? MRI can show changes in tissue that are effects of arterial blockage. The actual arteries themselves are seen by MRA. The size of artery blocked determines whether or not it can be seen. More proximal = larger artery = easier to see blockage. The heart moves, & MRI pics often blurry.
