High-resolution multifrequency MRE based on MDEV inversion was applied to patients with portal hypertension before and after TIPS placement. The magnitude shear moduli | G * |of liver and spleen were both sensitive to the portal decompression following TIPS. The observed linear correlation between spleen viscoelasticity and HVPG raises the prospect of an image-based and noninvasive assessment of portal pressure by MR elastography in the follow-up of TIPS placements.
