Objective:
We evaluated the diagnostic value of gradient-echo (GRE) imaging in patients with "cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis" (CVST).
Materials And Methods:
In total, 130 thrombosed venous segment signal intensities in 45 patients with CVST were analyzed retrospectively using magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance venography.
Results:
The T2* GRE sequence had a diagnostic value for detecting acute and subacute superior sagittal sinus (SSS) thrombosis and thrombosis of the deep veins (DVs), and cortical veins (CVs; P<.05).
Conclusions:
The T2* GRE sequence had a high diagnostic value for detecting both acute and subacute SSS, DV, and CV thromboses.

TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for...
