The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of time-resolved MR angiography with that of conventional angiography for detection of ovarian venous reflux, which aid for a diagnosis of pelvic venous congestion. Retrospective analysis was performed with 19 consecutive patients who underwent time-resolved MR angiography and conventional angiography. There was no significant difference between time-resolved MR angiography and conventional angiography for detection of ovarian venous reflux (P > 0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of time-resolved MR angiography were found to be 93.5%, 66.7%, and 89.5%, respectively. Time-resolved MR angiography is helpful for diagnosis of pelvic venous congestion.
