Accurate diagnostic assessment of suspected ipsilateral recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a major clinical challenge because differentiating between acute recurrent thrombosis and residual thrombosis is difficult with compression ultrasonography (CUS). We evaluated noninvasive magnetic resonance direct thrombus imaging (MRDTI) in a prospective study of 39 patients with symptomatic recurrent ipsilateral DVT (incompressibility of a different proximal venous segment than at the prior DVT…

Magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosis of recurrent ipsilateral deep vein thrombosis
TLDR
The incidence of VTE recurrence after negative MRDTI was low, and MR DTI proved to be a feasible and reproducible diagnostic test.
Cost-effectiveness of magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosing recurrent ipsilateral deep vein thrombosis.
TLDR
Evaluating the cost effectiveness of MRDTI-based diagnosis for suspected recurrent ipsilateral DVT during first year of treatment and follow-up in the Dutch health care setting shows that diagnostic strategies with MR DTI have generally lower 1-year health care costs than strategies without MRDTi.
Combined MR direct thrombus imaging and non-contrast magnetic resonance venography reveal the evolution of deep vein thrombosis: a feasibility study
TLDR
MRI can distinguish between acute and evolving or chronic lower limb DVT, and synergistic venous assessment with combined NC-MRV and MR-DTI is able to distinguish acute venous thrombosis from the established or evolving DVT detected by ultrasound.
Magnetic resonance thrombus imaging for the differentiation of chronic versus (sub)acute cerebral vein thrombosis: A case report
Magnetic Resonance Thrombus Imaging to Differentiate Acute from Chronic Portal Vein Thrombosis
TLDR
Differentiation of acute from chronic PVT was achieved with 3D T1 TFE and 3DT1 Dixon FFE sequences with best image quality, and this clinical relevant finding will be elucidated in clinical studies to establish their test performance.
Diagnosing Recurrent DVT of the Leg by Two Different Non–Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Direct Thrombus Imaging Techniques: A Pilot Study
TLDR
The extra TSE-SPAIR sequence may help increase diagnostic confidence of radiologists in cases of uncertain diagnosis in patients with suspected ipsilateral recurrent DVT.
Diagnosing upper extremity deep vein thrombosis with non-contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Direct Thrombus Imaging: A pilot study.
Magnetic Resonance Direct Thrombus Imaging (MRDTI) Can Distinguish Between Old and New Thrombosis in the Abdominal Aorta: a Case Report
TLDR
The non-invasive magnetic resonance direct thrombus imaging technique may be a valuable additional imaging test to establish a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan in patients with abdominal aortic thrombosis.
Early Detection and Quantification of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis by Magnetic Resonance Black-Blood Thrombus Imaging
TLDR
The current findings support that with effectively suppressed blood signal, MRBTI allows selective visualization of thrombus as opposed to indirect detection of venous flow perturbation and can be used as a promising first-line diagnostic imaging tool.

Magnetic resonance direct thrombus imaging of the evolution of acute deep vein thrombosis of the leg
TLDR
Magnetic resonance direct thrombus imaging normalizes over a period of 6 months in all patients with diagnosed DVT, while compression ultrasound remains abnormal in a third of these patients.
Lower-limb deep venous thrombosis: direct MR imaging of the thrombus.
TLDR
Direct MR imaging of clots appears capable of demonstrating venographically diagnosed DVT, and the formation of methemoglobin appears to be sufficiently rapid to allow use of this technique in the clinical setting.
Diagnosis of Lower-Limb Deep Venous Thrombosis: A Prospective Blinded Study of Magnetic Resonance Direct Thrombus Imaging
TLDR
A noninvasive test is needed that accurately diagnoses above-knee DVT and thrombus below the knee, in the pelvis, and in asymptomatic limbs.
Diagnostic management of clinically suspected acute deep vein thrombosis
TLDR
The elements currently used in making the clinical diagnosis of DVT, including clinical decision rules and D‐dimer testing, different imaging investigations and the appropriate use of these within diagnostic algorithms in patients with clinically suspected DVT are discussed.
Normalization rates of compression ultrasonography in patients with a first episode of deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs: association with recurrence and new thrombosis.
TLDR
Absence of C-US normalization after a first episode of DVT appears to be a factor favoring recurrence or new thrombosis and may be relevant to the optimal duration of oral anticoagulant treatment.
A Simple Ultrasound Approach for Detection of Recurrent Proximal‐Vein Thrombosis
TLDR
The serial ultrasound measurement of thrombus mass after an acute episode of DVT may allow the correct identification of patients who develop a recurrent proximal-vein thrombosis.

TLDR
Evidence suggests that routine surveillance of high-risk patients to detect asymptomatic postoperative DVT does not result in improved clinical outcomes in patients who received appropriate VTE prophylaxis, and there is concern that asymPTomatic VTE may not be a reliable surrogate for clinically important VTE, particularly if the effectiveness of different antithrombotic agents is being compared.
Imaging characteristics of a novel technetium Tc 99m-labeled platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist in patients With acute deep vein thrombosis or a history of deep vein thrombosis.
TLDR
Technetium Tc 99m-apcitide scintigraphy has potential utility in suspected recurrent DVT because it detects most acute thrombi and has few false-positive results in patients with previous DVT, but the accuracy appears to depend on the training and experience of the interpreters.
Noninvasive diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis. McMaster Diagnostic Imaging Practice Guidelines Initiative.
TLDR
Patients with suspected deep venous thrombosis can usually be managed with noninvasive testing, but if the results of this testing are nondiagnostic or are discordant with the clinical assessment, venography should be considered.
