Figure 1

Representative images from a patient subject. The thrombus-mimicking venous blood signal with the SPACE sequence can be effectively eliminated by DANTE-SPACE (yellow arrows on a1&a2). MPRAGE only detected the DVT in the acute or sub-acute stage because of short T1 relaxation time (yellow arrows on b2), while DANTE-SPACE depicted the DVT well regardless of the thrombus stage (yellow and green arrows on b1) as the venous blood flow (red arrow on b1) around the thrombus was effectively suppressed. The thrombus distribution matched well between DANTE-SPACE and CE-MRV (a1 vs. a3, b1 vs. b3).
