Experience in 207 Combined MRI Examinations for Acute Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Vein Thrombosis

Abstract

A combined "one-stop-shopping" MRI approach for PE and DVT was routinely feasible and detected 17% more cases of thromboembolism compared with separate examinations. MRI may be considered a second-line technique to avoid contraindications to CT but also a primary comprehensive technique for diagnosing thromboembolism.
