Overview

Should not yet alter VTE imaging algorithms; leaves open whether accelerated MRI protocols improve diagnosis over CT.

Structured PICO

What are the recent developments in magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography for the diagnosis of venous thromboembolism?

P
Population
Patients with suspected venous thromboembolism (pulmonary embolism and deep-vein thrombosis)
I
Intervention
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) techniques, including new contrast agents such as fibrin labeling
O
Outcome
Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism and deep-vein thrombosis

Recent advancements in MRI and CT imaging techniques, including shorter acquisition times and novel contrast agents, show promise in improving the diagnosis of venous thromboembolism.
