Magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of spontaneous portosystemic collaterals

Three patients, two of whom had histories of episodic hepatic encephalopathy, were shown by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to have occult spontaneous portosystemic shunts. The multiplanar imaging capabilities of MRI provided an optimal, noninvasive method of visualization of collateral anatomy in...

Zusammenfassung:	Three patients, two of whom had histories of episodic hepatic encephalopathy, were shown by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to have occult spontaneous portosystemic shunts. The multiplanar imaging capabilities of MRI provided an optimal, noninvasive method of visualization of collateral anatomy in each case.
