In Vivo Abdominal Magnetic Resonance Elastography for the Assessment of Portal Hypertension Before and After Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Implantation

Abstract

The observed linear correlation between spleen viscoelasticity HVPG raises the prospect of an image-based noninvasive assessment of portal pressure by magnetic resonance elastography in the follow-up of TIPS placements.
