Overview

There is no specific role for MRI in diagnosis of HIT.

MRI

There is no specific role for MRI in diagnosis of HIT. However, MRI of a particular anatomic area can help better delineate thrombosis or bleeding if a CT with contrast (CT angiography) cannot be performed. For example, if a patient has renal dysfunction that precludes use of iodinated contrast, MRI may be useful.
