Abstract
Purpose of Review
To evaluate the utility of magnetic resonance venography with time-resolved imaging (MRV TRI) in the diagnosis of pelvic vein insufficiency (PVI).
Recent Findings
A retrospective single-center review of N = 17 consecutive patients who underwent pelvic MRI for the assessment of PVI was performed. N = 8/17 (47%) studies were positive for PVI. TRI imaging demonstrated N = 6/8 patients with Grade 0–3 PVI and N = 2/8 patients with May–Thurner Syndrome. N = 4/8 patients underwent elective endovascular management, all of which were technically successful.
Summary
In the assessment of PVI, MRV TRI provides a dynamic assessment of venous insufficiency, serving as an adjunct to the imaging diagnosis of this pathology.
