Abstract
This article reviews the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/magnetic resonance venography (MRV) in the assessment of common venous problems. There is a brief synopsis of current MRI/MRV techniques used for such purposes. This is followed by a review of application of these techniques to specific diagnoses. In short, MRV is quite useful for assessing venous pathology.
