Overview
A cerebral angiogram or magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) is usually requested as lesions can go undetected in MRI. If a lesion is discernible via angiogram in the same location as in the MRI, then an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) becomes the primary concern.
Magnetic Resonance Angiography
Since CCMs are low flow lesions (they are hooked into the venous side of the circulatory system), they will be angiographically occult (invisible). If a lesion is discernible via angiogram in the same location as in the MRI, then an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) becomes the primary concern. [1]
