Figure 3c: (a) Anterior-posterior spine radiograph and MIP images obtained at (b) coronal contrast-enhanced MR arteriography and (c) MR venography. (a) Posterior spinal fusion with Harrington rods is shown extending from T5 through S1 and diskectomy and interbody fusion in lumbar spine. (b) Image, which is free of artifacts, demonstrates severe narrowing of right internal iliac artery (short arrow) and mild disease in left common iliac artery (long arrow). (c) Image shows nonvisualization of left common iliac vein and narrowing of left external iliac vein (arrows). Review of source images did not demonstrate loss of signal intensity in soft tissues surrounding vessels. Signal void in venous structures extending far from location of hardware suggests diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis in left common and external iliac veins.
