title: Magnetic resonance angiography of systemic thoracic and abdominal veins.
abstract: The development of MR angiography has greatly expanded the use of MR imaging for investigating the systemic veins both in the thorax and in the abdomen. With its multiplanar imaging capabilities and three-dimensional image acquisition, MR angiography is the definitive method for imaging the systemic veins in the vast majority of patients.
