ROLE OF MRA BRAIN IMAGING IN THE MANAGEMENT OF STROKE PATIENTS

Background: MR angiography (MRA) assesses blood arteries and assists in identifying anomalies using radio waves, a computer, and a strong magnetic field. It is essential for stroke patients because it gives doctors comprehensive information about the brain's blood arteries, which enables them to determine the position and extent of vascular blockages that could be the cause of the stroke.

Methods: A total of 100 patients were carried out and categorized into Age/Sex, Patient History, Impressions, Image parameters. Standardized imaging protocol were followed to obtain Magnetic Resonance Angiography Brain Images for each patient. History was taken from the patients or informant. Neurological clinical examination was conducted to define the cerebral artery territory affected. MRA findings were recorded and correlated with distribution of signal abnormalities seen in the MRI sequences.It was a Retrospective Cross-sectional Study.
