Fig. 5From: Black-blood thrombus imaging (BTI): a contrast-free cardiovascular magnetic resonance approach for the diagnosis of non-acute deep vein thrombosisExample images obtained from a patient with subacute-to-chronic DVT on the left leg for 30Â days. The thrombus detected by BTI match with those of CE-MRV. Note that parts of the thrombus appear as moderate intensities that are hardly identified by MPRAGE (yellow arrows). The varied intensity signals of the thrombus should correspond to its different contents of met-hemoglobin in different locations, which may reflect their stagesBack to article page
