lüll Three-dimensional multi-detector row CT portal venography in the evaluation of portosystemic collateral vessels in liver cirrhosis Kang HK; Jeong YY; Choi JH; Choi S; Chung TW; Seo JJ; Kim JK; Yoon W; Park JGRadiographics 2002[Sep]; 22 (5): 1053-61Multi-detector row computed tomography (CT) offers distinct advantages over traditional spiral CT. Multi-detector row CT scanners are faster and allow thinner collimation than single-detector row spiral CT scanners. The use of multi-detector row CT combined with postprocessing of the imaging data with a variety of three-dimensional reformatting techniques (eg, maximum intensity projection, shaded surface display, volume rendering) allows creation of vascular maps whose quality equals or exceeds that of maps created at classic angiography for many applications. Three-dimensional multi-detector row CT portal venography can help determine the extent and location of portosystemic collateral vessels (eg, left gastric vein, short gastric vein, esophageal and paraesophageal varices, splenorenal and gastrorenal shunts, paraumbilical and abdominal wall veins) in patients with liver cirrhosis and is probably the optimal imaging technique in this setting.|*Collateral Circulation[MESH]|*Portography[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Imaging, Three-Dimensional[MESH]|Liver Cirrhosis/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Tomography, X-Ray Computed/*methods[MESH] |
