Abstract
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of our study was to evaluate the MRI features of portal biliopathy.
CONCLUSION
MR cholangiography coupled with dynamic 3D gradient-echo imaging could not only detect portal vein occlusion, cavernous transformation, and gallbladder varices but is also suitable for delineating associated bile duct abnormalities.
