MRA today and the waiting game.

So I had the MRA today, I was scared before, during and after the test. The MRA is done just like an MRI, you go in, change your clothes, take all of your jewelry off, put ear plugs in and lay on a cold table. At that point I close my eyes because I can not stand the camera over my eyes or being put in that tube that is only a few inches from my face.

So what is an MRA?

According to dedicatingimaging,

Angiography is a minimally invasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Angiography uses one of three imaging technologies to produce pictures of major blood vessels throughout the body. 

In magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer produce the detailed images. MR angiography does not use ionizing radiation (x-rays). MR angiography may be performed with or without contrast material. If needed, the contrast material is usually injected using a vein in the arm.

What are some common uses of the procedure?

MR angiography is used to examine blood vessels in key areas of the body, including the brain, kidneys, pelvis, legs, lungs, heart, neck and abdomen.

This is not my image, however this is what a MRA looks like, it is looking at the vessels in the head. 

Now I have to wait for results and that is driving me more crazy than the actual test.
