MRI-based biomechanical studies can provide a deep understanding of the mechanisms
governing liver function, its mechanical performance but also liver diseases. In addition …

In the second part of this article, we will review potential clinical applications of 4D flow MRI
in the portal venous system. The most promising area for clinical utilization is the diagnosis …

Background Percutaneous transhepatic portal vein (PV) embolization (PVE) is a standard
preoperative procedure for advanced biliary cancer when the future liver remnant (FLR) is …

Thus far, ultrasound, CT, and 2D cine phase-contrast MRI has been adopted to evaluate
blood flow and vascular morphology in the portal venous system; however, all these …

Portal hypertension (PH) is a spectrum of complications of chronic liver disease (CLD) and
cirrhosis, with manifestations including ascites, gastroesophageal varices, splenomegaly …

Abstract 4D flow MRI is a quantitative MRI technique that allows the comprehensive
assessment of time-resolved hemodynamics and vascular anatomy over a 3-dimensional …

Objective To systematically compare time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-
MRA) acquired with Compressed SENSE (TOF-CS) to spiral imaging (TOF-Spiral) for …

Background To validate the k-adaptive-t autocalibrating reconstruction for Cartesian
sampling (kat-ARC), an exclusive sparse reconstruction technique for four-dimensional (4D) …
