The
purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of time-resolved
MR angiography with that of conventional angiography for detection of ovarian
venous reflux, which aid for a diagnosis of pelvic venous congestion.
Retrospective analysis was performed with 19 consecutive patients who
underwent time-resolved MR angiography and conventional angiography. There
was no significant difference between time-resolved MR angiography and
conventional angiography for detection of ovarian venous reflux (P >
0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of time-resolved
MR angiography were found to be 93.5%, 66.7%, and 89.5%, respectively. Time-resolved
MR angiography is helpful for diagnosis of pelvic venous congestion.
