The knowledge regarding the visibility of the thoracic duct draining to the venous system has remained sparse. We assessed the visibility of draining location of the thoracic duct to the venous system in the subclavian region using balanced turbo field echo (bTFE) with extended k-space sampling. As a result, a relatively good visibility was achieved in the thoracic duct and the venous branches in the region. This sequence may be useful to grasp the draining location of the thoracic duct to the venous system at the subclavian region.
