Synopsis

Keywords: Vessels, Thrombo-EmbolicDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) can lead to life-threatening pulmonary embolism. Black-blood thrombus imaging (BTI) technique can accurately identify DVT and provide additional information for thrombus staging. However, non-uniform fat suppression of BTI with conventional fat saturation preparation is obvious due to the field inhomogeneities and large field of view (FOV) imaging, which can affect the accuracy of detecting and staging of thrombus. To address this issue, a field inhomogeneity insensitive BTI technique was developed by incorporating LIBRE pulses for fat free and large FOV thrombus imaging.
