Magnetic resonance angiography of the neck veins.
Time of flight, reduced matrix (64 x 256) MR angiography of the neck veins was performed in four normal subjects and four patients with neck vein thrombosis, either from indwelling catheters (n = 3) or intravenous drug abuse (n = 1). In each case, satisfactory images were acquired. Typical examination times of 3-6 min were required. MR angiography of neck veins gives a unique display of venous anatomy, including collateral veins and occlusions.
