Abstract

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CT and MRI in patients with inferior vena cava(IVC)abnormalities. Methods CT and MRI manifestations, clinical data of 86 cases with IVC abnormalities were analyzed retrospectively. Results Of 86 cases, 39 cases (45.3%) of IVC thrombosis , 19 cases (22.1%) of Budd-Chiari syndrome, 10 cases of congenital IVC abnormalities, 18 cases (20.9%) of IVC stenosis which caused of external pressure. The location, range, quality, change of the density, formation of the collateral circulatio and the soft tissue around were detected on CT and MRI. Conclusion The CT and MRI displayed the features of the IVC abnormalities such as filling defects, luminal stenosis of IVC, collateral pathway and the venous malformation, which helps to make an accurate diagnosis and choose the operation methods.
