Direct Three-dimensional Contrast-Enhanced MR Venography in Assessment of the Lower Extremity Veins / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the three-dimensional contrast-enhanced MR venography in assessment of the lower extremityveins.Methods 15 patients with lower extremity veins thrombosis confirmed by operation,DSA or ultrasonic were undergone directthree-dimensional contrast-enhanced MR venography using GE Signa 1.0T MR system.The demonstration of the lower extremity veins wasobserved.Results 3D deep or superficial vein images of low abdomen,pelvis and low extremity were acquired satisfactorily in all 15patients.Conclusion Direct three-dimensional contrast-enhanced MR venography is a favorable method in accessing lower extremity veins.
