“…MRI combined with MRV is the imaging modality of choice. 4,5,31 A conventional MR brain usually consists of sagittal T1-weighted and axial T1-and T2-weighted spin-echo sequences. With spin-echo sequences, flowing blood typically produces a signal void whilst stationary blood or thrombus produces higher signal intensity (Figure 1a).…”

“…MRV has been shown to be an accurate, non-invasive method for the diagnosis of dural sinus thrombosis and intravenous contrast medium is not required. 4 Good correlation has been demonstrated between MRV and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). 4 In contrast to spin-echo sequences MRV demonstrates flow as high signal, with areas of low signal representing thrombus (Figures 1c and 2).…”

Summary:Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is frequently associated with neurological complications, particularly intracerebral bleeds and infections. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis has only rarely been reported following allogeneic transplants. We report three cases of cortical venous thrombosis following allografting for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Two patients received marrow from HLA-identical siblings and one from an unrelated donor. Two of the patients presented with grand mal seizures and one presented with a headache. No neurological abnormalities were found upon clinical examination and lumbar puncture was normal in all three cases. In two of the patients computed tomography (CT) of the brain was normal and in the third showed non-specific abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with MR angiography (MRA) demonstrated cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in all three patients. In conclusion, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis when neurological symptoms occur following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. We therefore advocate the use of MRA for unexplained neurological symptoms post-allograft since without it cerebral venous sinus thrombosis may easily be missed.

“…We show that a 2D-SENSE acceleration of 6.4 can be robustly achieved with an eightelement head coil. The acceleration was used to reduce acquisition time to 55 s and achieve a sampling voxel size of 0.8 ϫ 0.8 ϫ 1.0 mm 3 . We hypothesize that, due to the higher SNR baseline at 3.0T, SENSE-accelerated CE-MRV at 3.0T will provide superior demonstration of the intracranial venous system, especially in small cerebral veins, than 1.5T.…”

Purpose: To prospectively compare vessel conspicuity and diagnostic image quality between three-dimensional intracranial contrast-enhanced MR venography acquired at 1.5 Tesla (T) and 3.0T, with 6.4-fold sensitivity encoding. Materials and Methods:Ten healthy volunteers were imaged on 1.5T and 3.0T MR scanners using eight-element head coil arrays. The intracranial venous vasculature was divided into five groups for evaluation based on vessel size and anatomical location. Two radiologists independently assessed vessel conspicuity, level of artifacts, and diagnostic image quality. Informed consent was obtained, and the study was approved by the institutional review board. Results:With the exception of large cerebral sinuses where 1.5T and 3.0T results were rated as equivalent, 3.0T images demonstrated superior vessel continuity, sharpness, and signal contrast to background tissue than 1.5T for all other intracranial venous vasculature (P Ͻ 0.01). No statistical significance in overall image quality was found between 1.5T and 3.0T venograms, and all data sets were deemed sufficient for diagnostic interpretation.Conclusion: Whole brain contrast-enhanced venography with 6.4-fold sensitivity encoding is robust and has the potential to become the method of choice for fast visualization of the intracranial venous vasculature. At 3.0T, demonstration of small cerebral vessels is superior to 1.5T.

The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of a newly developed field inhomogeneity catheter for interventional MRI in vivo. Different prototypes of a field inhomogeneity catheter (pigtail and multipurpose configuration, balloon catheters) were investigated in pigs. The catheters were introduced in Seldinger technique via the femoral vessels over a guidewire on an interventional MR system (Philips Gyroscan NT combined with a C-arm fluoroscopy unit [Philips BV 212]). Catheters were placed in veins and arteries. The catheter position was controlled by a fast gradient-echo sequence (turbo field echo [TFE]). Catheters were introduced over a guidewire without complications in all cases. Using the field inhomogeneity concept, catheters were easily visualized in the inferior vena cava and the aorta by the fast gradient-echo technique on MR in all cases. Although aortic branches were successful cannulated, the catheters were not well displayed by the TFE technique due to the complex and tortuous anatomy. All animals survived the experiments without complications. MR-guided visualization of a field inhomogeneity catheter is a simple concept that can be realized on each MR scanner and may allow intravascular MR-guided interventions in future.
