title: Detection of vascular complications after liver transplantation: early experience in multislice CT angiography with volume rendering.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Our objective was to investigate the usefulness of three-dimensional multislice CT angiography for the evaluation of liver transplant recipients presenting with clinical or sonographic findings suggestive of hepatic vascular complications.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our early results indicate that three-dimensional multislice CT angiography with volume rendering can reveal common and potentially lethal vascular complications in patients who have undergone liver transplantation.
