Magnetic Resonance Direct Thrombus Imaging (MRDTI) Can Distinguish Between Old and New Thrombosis in the Abdominal Aorta: a Case Report.

Accurate diagnosis and treatment of aortic intraluminal thrombosis are of the utmost importance to prevent serious complications such as (peripheral) arterial embolic occlusion with resultant ischemia.Current imaging modalities do not allow for accurate distinction between acute and chronic thrombosis in the abdominal aorta. Hence, differentiating between stable and unstable thrombosis is challenging.The non-invasive magnetic resonance direct thrombus imaging technique may be a valuable additional imaging test to establish a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan in patients with abdominal aortic thrombosis.
