MRA of the Neck. This is one of the standard MRA views, being centered over where the Common Carotid Artery bifurcates into the Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) and External Carotid Artery (ECA). The origin of the ICA is one of the most common sites of atherosclerosis and subsequent stroke and /or TIAs.
