To demonstrate a number of advantages of Gd-enhanced MR-venography with FISP techinuque in diagnosis of extremity deep vein thrombosis.
Method and Materials
Gd-enhanced MR venography with FISP technique was performed in patients had deep venous thrombosis of lower limb. Findngs of MR venography was retrogradely analyzed.
Results
Gd-enhanced MR-venography clearly demonstrates venous anatomy of the lower extremities in all cases. And, deep vein thrombosis was well detected with signal void filling defect. MR-venography also shows additional combined findings in deep vein thrombosis.
Conclusion
Gd-enhanced MR venography well demonstrates the anatomy of lower extremities and is a useful method for detection of deep vein thrombosis.
