title: Portal magnetic resonance angiography.
abstract: MR angiography has shown definite clinical use in the portal venous system. Methods have been developed for noninvasive assessment of portal venous anatomy and blood flow using a variety of techniques. Time-of-flight techniques for portal angiography and both time-of-flight and phase-contrast techniques for flow measurement are reviewed.
