ABSTRACT
In 25 patients we assessed the enhancement of abdominal venous structures during dynamic computed tomography (CT). The degree of venous enhancement demonstrated great variation. In six instances (out of 250 observations) a vessel was visually perceived as not enhancing and potentially thrombosed, including three gonadal veins. CT measurements were helpful in identifying enhancement, but were occasionally low enough that thrombosis remained a radiological consideration. The great variation in venous enhancement makes the diagnosis of thrombosis suspect, based on CT alone. Corroboration of this finding is suggested, when clinically relevant.
