I have not had an MRA. I will look into this. Thank you for your response.
@jmb73
I'm not sure. I have had a functional MRI (fMRI) which checks changes associated with blood flow. Doesn't MRA do that or so also?
I don't know how they differ or if it's the same thing with different names.
Are you going to have contrast?
I have had angiography done but it was done by using fluoroscopy to guide needles into my shoulder capsules for other imaging, usually CT.
No biggie at all. If your nervous about it ask your doctor to order a sedative but your just going to lie on a table and let the machine do it's thing, no pain.
Of course if you have contrast and/or a sedative except an injection but that's no biggie either. Try not to worry about it.
Are you Claustrophobic

@jmb73 I have not had an MRA. In case this is of any help, here is some information about the procedure, however.
- MR Angiography (MRA):

What worries you most about the procedure?
