Deep Vein Thrombosis Detection

Abstract

Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) is a robust and noninvasive technique for evaluating the vascular system with respect to deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities. This unit presents basic protocols for imaging the pelvic and lower extremity veins for evaluating DVT. A protocol is also provided for defining the sequence for imaging the pelvic and lower extremity veins with a stepping table.
