    The MRA is a form of angiography. It looks at how the blood vessels are, wherever the test is ordered - in your case, the brain. It will allow them to look at the vessels and to see if any aneurism is present.

    It is similar to an MRI, just that the images are looking at something different.

    Lots of luck to you. When is your test scheduled? Hope you feel better and your recovery goes well.
