In this episode, Dr. Semelka reviews the usefulness of MRI in various cases of vascular abnormalities. He emphasizes portal venous pathology including common causes of portal vein thrombosis such as liver cirrhosis, diffuse hepatocellular carcinoma and ascending cholangitis. He describes the important point of how to distinguish between tumor and bland thrombus.

Demonstration is also made of MR sequences to employ in a motion resistant protocol that should be used to image the noncooperative patient for the diagnosis of vascular abnormalities.

Case 1: Diffuse Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Portal Vein Thrombosis. This case illustrates MR findings of coexisting tumor and bland thrombus in the portal venous system. This also demonstrates diffuse hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein thrombosis on 3T motion resistant protocol for non-cooperative patients.

Case 2: Advanced Liver Cirrhosis with Bland Thrombus. This case illustrates ancillary features of liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension. How to distinguish flow artifact from actual venous thrombosis are also demonstrated.

Case 3: Ascending Cholangitis with Infected Thrombus. This case illustrates a good example of infected thrombus in the right portal vein. This case shows transient early enhancement in lobar distribution attributed to increased hepatic arterial supply secondary to portal vein thrombosis.

Case 4: Diffuse Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Tumor Thrombus. This case illustrates important features for the diagnosis of malignant portal vein thrombosis in the setting of diffuse hepatocellular carcinoma.

Case 5: Chronic Liver Disease with Cavernous Transformation. This case demonstrates a nice example of cavernous transformation secondary to chronic portal vein thrombosis on 3T MRI.

Case 6: Diffuse Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Tumor Thrombus. This case emphasizes important teaching points of tumor thrombus, which may show the enhancement pattern of tumor.

Case 7: Reflux of Contrast into IVC and Hepatic Veins. This case shows how to recognize reflux of contrast media into IVC and hepatic veins. Also demonstrated is a nice example of splenorenal shunt.

Case 8: Iatrogenic Occluded Metallic Coil in Right Portal Vein. This case depicts occluded metallic coil in the right portal vein associated with liver, lymph node and peritoneal metastasis from colon cancer.

Case 9: Liver cirrhosis with Bland Thrombus. This case illustrates the typical appearance of extensive bland thrombus in the main portal vein and SMV-splenic vein confluent.
