Overview
Brain MRI is helpful in the detection of thrombotic events, such as ischemic stroke, in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and especially acute promyelocytic leukemia. Abdominal MRI is helpful in the detection of mesenteric thrombosis in these patients.
MRI
MRI may be helpful in the detection of anatomic abnormalities in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. However, MRI is an expensive test and should be reserved for patients in whom CT or ultrasound are nondiagnostic.
- Ischemia stroke: MRI of the brain is the most sensitive test for assessment of cerebral vascular abnormalities associated with acute myeloid leukemia. Patients with acute myeloid leukemia frequently develop thrombotic complications such as ischemic stroke, especially for patients who are at high risk for thrombotic events.[1]
- Mesenteric thrombosis: MRI of the abdomen is the most sensitive test for assessment of thrombosis of the mesenteric vasculature, such as the portal vein, splenic vein, superior mesenteric vein, or inferior mesenteric vein.[2]
