What it is

A head MRA uses an MRI scanner to show the arteries of the brain without contrast dye. It is used to look for aneurysms, narrowed arteries after a stroke and blood vessel malformations.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the scan. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.
