Synopsis
Chronic liver disease patients commonly suffer from portal hypertension (PH), which could lead to gastroesophageal varices. Noninvasive methods to diagnose PH and to detect high risk varices are urgently needed. 4D Flow MRI is an advanced technique which could provide visualization and quantification of blood flow. In the study, we observed significant hemodynamic differences in portal vein between PH patients and controls. Similar differences were observed between patients with high risk and low risk varices. The performance of diagnosing PH/detecting high risk varices using the single hemodynamic parameter and the logistic regression model was acknowledged by the ROCs.
