Would a radiation-free MRI angiogram be sufficient to find the cause of my ongoing crushing chest pain and fluctuating high blood pressure, which have not responded to propranolol, Dilzem 90 mg, or Olmezest, or do I need to get a CT angiogram despite my concerns about past radiation exposure?

It is completely natural to concern yourself with radiation exposure. While a radiation-free MRI angiogram is excellent for looking at larger blood vessels, a CT angiogram is often preferred for coronary arteries because it provides much clearer, detailed images of these smaller vessels. Modern CT scans use very low radiation doses. Because your symptoms are ongoing, please discuss these options with your doctor to find the safest, most effective path forward.
