VAD,CAD: I presume you mean vertebral artery disease and coronary artery disease. Neither is likely to show up on an MRI of the head and neck. If vascular calcifications are seen on the head and neck MRI this would make arterial disease in either bed more likely than if no vascular calcifications are seen but doesn't rule them out or in.

Tests, tests: Different tests are better or worse at picking up certain things. That is expressed by the sensitivity of the test. If you are worried about detecting a vascular anomaly an angiographic exam might be best. Discuss it with the radiologist beforehand!
