AB SUMMARY: The diagnostic image quality of contrast-enhanced (CE) 3D MR venography (MRV) was prospectively compared with that of 2D time-of-flight (TOF) MRV and contrast-enhanced 3D magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition of gradient echo (MPRAGE) sequences for the visualization of the intracranial venous system at 3T in 22 patients. CE MRV provides high-quality images and was shown to be superior to TOF MRV and MPRAGE sequences in visualizing the normal intracranial venous system.
