Venography

Magnetic resonance venography is a precise, non-invasive technique used to detect deep vein thrombosis. This diagnostic procedure allows you to obtain images of blood flow in the affected and normal veins, to reveal the presence of organic, mechanical damage, signs of hemorrhage. Venography helps to determine various anatomical variants of the development of venous sinuses and pathological anastomosis, stenosis, and occlusion of blood vessels, vascular malformations, venous sinus thrombosis. The advantage of MRI of cerebral venography is the ability to obtain thin sections or create a three-dimensional image of the blood supply in the desired area. It is also possible to isolate individual vessels in the corresponding projection of the investigated part of the brain.
