Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Could someone refresh my memory as to the difference between an MRA and a MRI? I think it was explained at some point at the conference, but I can't remember and I can't find it in my notes. When I saw my cardiologist (who actually had heard of EDS and asked me questions about my hypermobility, GI issues, back problems, etc. before I gave him any of the literature I had brought with me) this morning, he scheduled a MRA as well as an echo to get a baseline and make sure there is no aortic root dilitation or aneurysims (haven't had an echo since '98 and never had an MRA). He decided to do an MRA to check the descending aorta so that he wouldn't have to do the transesophegeal echo. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
