Direct CT venography for evaluation of the lower extremity venous anomalies of Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2009 Jun;192(6):W311-6. doi: 10.2214/AJR.08.1151.

Abstract

Objective: Our aim was to describe the technique of direct CT venography and to describe various forms of venous anomalies detected with CT venography in patients with Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome.

Conclusion: MDCT is helpful for visualizing the full length of extremities and for evaluating length and thickness on one image.
