PY - 2011 T2 - Venous and Lymphatic Diseases AB - Conventional venography, also known as phlebography, refers to radiographic imaging of the veins after direct injection of the contrast material. Before the advent of cross-sectional imaging (ultrasonography, computed tomography [CT], and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]), venography played significant role in the diagnosis of venous thrombosis. Currently, its role is limited to catheter-directed therapy of various venous disorders, venous sampling for hormonally active tumors, and dialysis access management.1,2,3 This chapter discusses the indications, techniques, and contraindications of venography and venographic appearances of normal anatomy and various pathologies affecting the veins. The subsections are divided into different regions to facilitate the discussion on technical aspects of venography.
