A member asked:
Mra shows possible right vertebral artery occlusion, second mra shows the right vertebral being a lot smaller than left. is it occluded or small?!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
VA occlusion: Small. If it were occluded, beyond the occlusion it would be absent. One VA is usually larger than the other; usually the left is larger but can be the right. Why didn't you ask this question of the doctor who ordered the MRA? THAT doctor is ethically obligated to interpret test results for you, or if unable, to find someone who can. Remember: The MRA isn't the patient; YOU are.
