Deep vein thrombosis scan. Magnetic resonance direct thrombus imaging (MRDTI) scan of a leg vein blocked by a thrombus (blood clot,white) in a patient suffering from deep vein thrombosis (DVT). MRDTI is a technique for detecting DVT clots,which can develop during long journeys in cramped conditions. It is non-invasive,quick and accurate,and may be more sensitive than ultrasound scans or venography,meaning that symptomless clots can be detected. MRDTI also reveals clots in pregnant women without the use of X-rays. A clot may move to the lungs or brain,causing pulmonary embolism or a stroke. MRDTI was developed at the University of Nottingham,UK | |
