While MRIs and MRAs use similar techniques and equipment, they are used to scan different parts of the body. Magnetic Resonance Images are typically used to provide images of the body's soft tissues.
Magnetic resonance angiography, on the other hand, is used to study blood vessels. It aids doctors in diagnosing strokes, heart disorders, and vascular diseases.
