Abstract
MRI was performed in 54 patients with abnormalities of the inferior vena cava (IVC). These included 16 patients with extrinsic IVC compression, 32 patients with intrinsic IVC abnormalities, and 6 patients with IVC dilatation. All patients had spin-echo imaging, and 21 had MR angiography. While presaturated spin-echo images showed intrinsic lesions to advantage, collateral vessels were best appreciated with MR angiography. The IVC is well evaluated with MRI techniques.Entities:
