title: Venography of the extremities and pelvis.
abstract: The ability of MR imaging to depict flow coupled with the inherent soft tissue contrast available on MR images has propelled this modality into the forefront of diagnostic imaging. The precise clinical utility of MR angiography is still in evolution; therefore, this article focuses on practical approaches to assessing the venous system of the extremities and pelvis.
