Quantification of the Hemodynamic Changes of Cirrhosis with Free-Breathing Self-Navigated MRI.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Non-invasive assessment of the hemodynamic changes of cirrhosis might help guide management of patients with liver disease but are currently limited.

Purpose

To determine whether free-breathing 4D flow MRI can be used to quantify the hemodynamic effects of cirrhosis and introduce hydraulic circuit indexes of severity.

Study type

Retrospective.

Population

Forty-seven patients including 26 with cirrhosis.

Field strength/sequence

3 T/free-breathing 4D flow MRI with soft gating and golden-angle view ordering.

Assessment

Measurements of the supra-celiac abdominal aorta, supra-renal abdominal aorta (SRA), celiac trunk (CeT), superior mesenteric artery (SMA), splenic artery (SpA), common hepatic artery (CHA), portal vein (PV), and supra-renal
