A comparative study of magnetic resonance venography techniques for the evaluation of the internal jugular veins in multiple sclerosis patients
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess the vascular nature of diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) is a growing field of research. This work reports on the application of MR angiographic (MRA) and venographic (MRV) techniques in assessing the extracranial vasculature in MS patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A standardized MRI protocol containing 2D TOF-MRV and dynamic 3D contrast-enhanced (CE) MRAV was …
