Diagnosis of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis With Echo-Planar T2-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging Arch Neurol 59:1021-1026, Selim,M.,et al, 2002 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract On T2-weighted images, we were able to detect areas of hypointensities in the affected veins and/or sinuses in all 5 patients. Thrombosed veins and/or sinuses were more easily seen on T2-weighted images than on any other MR sequence. The T 2 sequence also allowed visualization of associated hemorrhagic venous infarcts, which were considerably less obvious on other MR sequences. The T2-weighted MR sequence can be useful in rapid detection of CVT and may enable the diagnosis to be made prior to MR venography. This is particularly important in clinically unsuspected patients, in whom MR venography is rarely obtained.
