title: Inferior vena cava tumor thrombus: demonstration by Gd-DTPA enhanced MR.
abstract: This report demonstrates the capability of magnetic resonance imaging to determine the extent of inferior vena cava thrombi and to differentiate tumor thrombus from blood clot with the use of Gd-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid as a contrast agent.
