MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a non-invasive, painless procedure that uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create images of organs and tissues inside the body. MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) is a similar diagnostic / test however the difference is the application of the technology. MRA is used for examining blood vessels whereas MRI’s help to examine specific regions of your body.
