Abstract
The authors evaluated magnetic resonance (MR) angiography of the portal vein performed with a breath-hold, gadolinium-enhanced, magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition gradient-echo sequence in five volunteers and 24 patients. The main portal vein and its branches and the liver were depicted clearly in all images. The hepatic vein was clearly depicted in 21 of the 24 patients. MR angiography performed with this sequence allowed high-quality imaging of the portal and hepatic veins.
