Diagnostic accuracy of Doppler sonography and magnetic resonance venography for the assessmentv of impaired outflow from the internal jugular vein in patients with multiple sclerosis

Conclusions: The results of our MR imaging protocols for the assessment of abnormalities in internal jugular veins were better if compared to Doppler sonography. Yet, even MR venography was far from being perfect and at the moment neither this examination nor Doppler sonography cannot replace invasive catheter venography and should not be used as a definitive test for diagnosing anatomical and functional abnormalities in the internal jugular veins.
