Morphology of recanalized segments on time-of-flight MR venography (TOF-MRV) and contrast-enhanced MR venography (CE-MRV)

TOF-MRV
CE-MRV
Recanalized Segment Morphology N (%) Recanalized Segment Morphology N (%)
No flow signal 8 (25.8%) Peripheral enhancement with central filling defect (PE) 15 (71.4%)
Peripheral continuous channels (PC) 12 (38.7%) Irregular central and peripheral filling defects with heterogeneous enhancement (HE) 4 (19.1%)
Central and peripheral continuous channels (CPC) 6 (19.4%) Central enhancing channel (CE) 2 (9.5%)
Irregular discontinuous channels (DC) 3 (9.7%)
Central continuous channel (CC) 2 (6.4%)

Note:—31 thrombosed segments were assessed by TOF-MRV, and 21 thrombosed segments were assessed by CE-MRV. All heterogeneously enhancing segments on CE-MRV exhibited corresponding central and peripheral channels on TOF-MRV. Thirteen of 15 thrombosed segments exhibiting peripheral enhancement with central filling defects on CE-MRV (PE) exhibited either no visible flow signal or corresponding peripheral channels on TOF-MRV.
