Abnormal vascular connections within the liver, such as congenital portosystemic shunts occur sporadically in widely used strain of laboratory mice, i.e. the C57BL/6J strain. We showed that with the respiration gating, MR angiography yields vascular structures of mouse liver with excellent quality and thus allowing diagnosing such abnormality non-invasively.
