MRA: Mra stands for magnetic resonance angiography. Yes that is a test that is used to look for aneurysms. If that did not see an aneurysm, you should feel comfortable that you do not have one.

MRA shows arteries: Mr angiography (mra) is an MRI which uses special sequences/techniques to highlight the arteries in the area scanned to look for abnormalities such as aneurysms. Like any test, it is not 100% accurate, but performed correctly and interpreted by a qualified radiologist, it is a great test to screen for aneurysms.

I did an MRA of the brain with no contrast and the results were normal brain MRA without evidence of intracranial aneurysm, stenosis, or arteriovenous malformation. Is the no contrast test good assurance or should I have done it with contrast ??
