Abstract

Deep vein thrombosis （DVT） subsequently develops pulmonary embolism, a life threatening cardiovascular disease. Although clinical studies have shown the feasibility of identifying DVT with magnetic resonance （MR） imaging, thrombus age‐related MR changes and MR findings reflecting response to thrombolysis have not been adequately characterized. Recent studies demonstrated that MR direct thrombus imaging can reliably detect organizing process and predict thrombolytic response. In this article, we focus on technological advances in MR imaging for qualitative assessment of DVT.
