When you say the docs say "blood flow looks perfect", what test are you referring to that they know that? Does the same test look for things like an aortic aneurysm or is that something different?

Aneurysm detected with CT Scan for baseline calcium score. Aneurysm confirmed with Perfusion MRI. CMR REPORT. Dilated ascending aorta (43mm at level of main PA). Mildly dilated ascending aorta (43mm).
Perfusion MRI scan is used to assess the blood supply to the heart and also the size of the aortic aneurysm
Cardiac MRI scan is used specifically to provide an image of the heart structure and blood vessels.
