Figure 5. Overcoming venous contamination in a 70-year-old woman with right lower extremity lymphedema. A coronal T1-weighted Dixon water-only 3D spoiled gradient echo MRI venogram obtained 120 s after intravenous contrast administration shows greater enhancement of veins (blue arrows) relative to dilated lymphatic channels in the right ankle (white arrows). This may be helpful in distinguishing lymphatics from veins at the venographic phase. MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging.
