Abdalkader, M., et al. (2024). Differential assessment of internal jugular vein stenosis in patients undergoing CT and MRI with contrast. Tomography, 10(2), 266-276

Good arguments for discussing with your doctor why CTA/CTV is superior to MRI with contrast.

Summary from ChatGPT:

The study “Differential Assessment of Internal Jugular Vein Stenosis in Patients Undergoing CT and MRI with Contrast” compares the effectiveness of MRI and CT scans in diagnosing Internal Jugular Vein Stenosis (IJVS). The researchers found that MRI tends to overestimate the severity of IJVS compared to CT. The study included 35 patients and highlighted significant discrepancies between the two imaging modalities, suggesting that these differences should be considered in clinical evaluations to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for patients with IJVS-related symptoms.
