title: Visualization of the internal cerebral veins on MR phase-sensitive imaging: comparison with 3D gadolinium-enhanced MR venography and fast-spoiled gradient recalled imaging.
abstract: The purpose of this article is to compare the visualization quality of ICV and their tributaries on PSI-MRV, 3D CE-MRV, and 3D CE-FSPGR. PSI-MRV has been shown to delineate the ICV, TSV, SV, anterior caudate nucleus veins, and medial atrial veins effectively. Due to its advantages of no contrast material injection, acceptable examination times, and no arterial contamination, PSI-MRV should be considered in the evaluation of deep cerebral veins.
