The veins in the pelvis and lower limbs have been demonstrated by means of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in 11 normals and in 20 patients, using a "time-of-flight" technique (TOF). Using normals, changes in the measurement parameters were used in order to optimise the examination protocol; consequently, the internal and external iliac veins and the superior and inferior gluteal veins could be identified in all cases and the internal pudendal veins in 6 out of 11 cases. This examination protocol was then used in patients with clinical suspicion of lower limb or pelvic vein thrombosis. Comparison of the MRA findings with those of phlebography (7 cases), duplex sonography (6 cases) and colour Doppler examinations (11 cases) showed that MRA was better for diagnosing thrombosis of the internal iliac veins (10 cases) than the other methods. In two patients thromboses of the common iliac veins and the inferior vena cava were demonstrated which were missed by colour Doppler examination. On the basis of our present experiences, MRA, using a two-dimensional TOF technique, appears to be a reliable non-invasive technique for demonstrating the veins of the pelvis and thigh.
