MRI PORTAL VENOUS STUDY (CONTRAST)

Description

MRI Portal Venous Study with Contrast is an advanced imaging technique focused on the portal vein system, which carries blood from the intestines to the liver. It uses a contrast agent injected into the bloodstream to enhance visibility of the portal veins and surrounding structures. This method provides detailed images of blood flow and any abnormalities in the portal venous system. It’s particularly useful for diagnosing conditions like portal hypertension, cirrhosis complications, and portal vein thrombosis. The procedure typically takes 45-60 minutes and requires a brief intravenous injection of contrast material.
