What to bring:

Bring your doctor's referral, a valid photo ID, your insurance card if using cashless OPD, and any previous scans or reports so the radiologist can compare.

MRA of the spine; MRV of the spine

When does a doctor order MRA/MRV spine screen?

MRA/MRV spine screen is a combined imaging exam used to evaluate spinal blood vessels. Doctors order it when patients have sudden neurological deficits, unexplained spinal cord symptoms, severe localized pain, or suspected vascular malformations.

Who should get MRA/MRV spine screen done in Ludhiana?

Ludhiana's large industrial workforce, ghee- and dairy-rich Punjabi diet driving high diabetes and cardiovascular prevalence, winter air pollution, and seasonal monsoon infections make regular preventive diagnostic testing an important habit for residents citywide. Those who benefit most from MRA/MRV spine screen include patients needing structural assessment that bloodwork cannot provide, and anyone under surveillance for a previously detected abnormality in Ludhiana.

What can MRA/MRV spine screen help detect?

It helps diagnose blockages, clots, abnormal vessel connections, aneurysms, or tumor-related vessel changes. Abnormal findings can result from injury, vascular disease, clots, tumors, or certain medications and may be more likely with a family history of vascular problems.

What do MRA/MRV spine screen results mean?

Findings are graded from normal to significant, and comparison with any previous scan shows whether a known finding is stable, improving, or progressing. Your doctor explains the report in the context of your symptoms. See the FAQs below for more detail on this scan.

How often should MRA/MRV spine screen be repeated?

For preventive screening with a normal baseline: annually for most adults above 35. For monitoring a known condition: at the interval your specialist recommends, typically every 3 to 6 months for active conditions and annually for stable, well-controlled ones.

What happens after your MRA/MRV spine screen results are ready?

Reports arrive digitally and remain in your GetVisit history, so repeat tests can be tracked over months and years. Review anything unexpected with your doctor before changing medication or lifestyle, and use the app to book a follow-up if needed.
