Assessment of efficacy of Detection of Deep Venous Thrombosis by Magnetic Resonance Imaging: An Observational Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a safe, noninvasive method to examine the brain’s macrostructure, microstructure, and some aspects of how the living brain functions. Before 1995 the approach was to image all patients with suspected DVT and to repeat tests 1 week later if results were negative. Hence; we planned the present study to assess the effectiveness of gradient recalled echo MRI in evaluation of deep venous thrombosis. Material and methods: The present study included assessment of effectiveness of gradient recalled echo MRI in evaluation of deep venous thrombosis. Detailed information regarding the echo MRI findings of all the patients was obtained. Data records were summarized and detailed ultrasound and computed tomography information of the subjects was also obtained. Results: 35 were confirmed on venography and the remaining 15 were confirmed on ultrasound. Sensitivity of MRI was found to be 96%, while specificity of the MRI was found to be 98%. The overall accuracy of MRI was found to be 97%. Conclusion: Acute deep venous thrombosis cases can be accurately diagnosed by using gradient recalled echo acquisitions with MRI.
