Noninvasive Assessment of Portomesenteric Venous Thrombosis: Current Concepts and Imaging Strategies

Abstract:Rapid, noninvasive imaging strategies, especially multidetector spiral CT and CT angiography (CTA) as well as gadolinium-enhanced MR angiography (MRA), have facilitated early diagnosis of splanchnic venous thrombosis, a potentially lethal cause of intestinal ischemia. Single breath-hold vol
