Fig. 1A. Contrast-enhanced MR venography in 78-year-old man with
thrombosis of all deep veins of lower leg, popliteal vein, and superficial
femoral vein on left side that was documented on radiographic venography.
Coronal maximum-intensity-projection image of lower abdominal and pelvic
vessels including internal iliac veins reveals no thrombosis.

Fig. 1B. Contrast-enhanced MR venography in 78-year-old man with
thrombosis of all deep veins of lower leg, popliteal vein, and superficial
femoral vein on left side that was documented on radiographic venography.
Oblique coronal maximum-intensity-projection image of thighs shows no contrast
filling of left popliteal vein and superficial femoral vein. Upper portion of
thrombus (arrow) is seen as defect in superficial femoral vein. Note
visualization of deep femoral veins.
