Test Code

MR Brain with Venography, also known as Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) or MR Cerebral Venography, is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to visualize the veins and venous sinuses in the brain. It helps evaluate the patency of these structures and can detect abnormalities like thrombosis, malformations, or other conditions affecting venous drainage.

MR venography (MRV) of the brain is a non-invasive imaging technique using MRI to visualize the veins and blood flow in the brain. It helps diagnose various conditions like cerebral venous thrombosis, structural vein abnormalities, and blood flow problems. MRV uses time-of-flight (TOF) or phase-contrast (PC) sequences, often with or without contrast.
