Why is a magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) of the legs done?
An MRA of the legs is done to look at the blood vessels in the legs. It checks for narrowing (stenosis) and blockage of the arteries. Narrowing of the arteries is called peripheral arterial disease. The test can also be used to help a surgeon prepare for surgery on the arteries of the pelvis and legs.
