Coronal 3D Gd MRA of Portal Vein• Coronal Plane

• Field of view = width of patient (28-32 cm)

• Thick slices: 3-5 mm

• Zero padding

• Fast enough for breath holding• TR < 10 msec• TE < 3 msec• Partial Fourier imaging (0.5 NEX)• Adjust phase encoding steps (128-224)

• Three phases• Arterial • Portal venous• Equilibrium

Fig. 7.7. Hepatoma.Clinical Scenario: 54-year-old female with abdominal pain and elevated AFP. Technique: Coronal Acquisition, TR/TE/Flip = 8.1/2.1/45°, Field-of-View = 320 x 320 x 96 mm, Matrix 256 x 160 x 32, Centric Ordering of k-space, Acquisition Time = 29 s, 40 ml gadolinium contrast infused at 2 ml/s, and timed empirically.Interpretation: A coronal MIP from the portal venous-phase of the contrast bolus shows an enhancing mass in the dome of the liver with heterogenously enhancing tumor invading the right portal vein and extending down to the confluence of right and left portal veins. The main and left portal veins are widely patent.Diagnosis: Hepatoma with invasion of right portal vein.Submitted by Martin R. Prince, M.D., Ph.D., Ann Arbor, MI.

Fig. 7.3. MRA of Portocaval Shunt.Clinical Scenario: 42-year-old male, status post-portocaval shunt with worsening ascites.Technique: Coronal Acquisition, TR/TE/Flip = 7.2/1.2/45°, Field-of-View = 300 x 300, Matrix = 256 x 128, Centric Ordering of k-space, Acquisition Time = 32 s, 1 NEX, 40 ml of gadolinium infused at 2 ml/s, and timed empirically. Interpretation: Coronal subvolume MIP (a) and magnification view (b) shows a widely patent portocaval shunt (arrows). Note also gastric varices (arrowheads). During this equilibrium phase image, there is comparable enhancement of the portal vein, IVC, and aorta.Diagnosis: Patent portocaval shunt.Submitted by David Stafford-Johnson, M.D., Ann Arbor, MI.Reprinted with permission from Investigative Radiology Sept. Oct. 1998.

Fig. 7.4. Liver Transplant.Clinical Scenario: Status post liver transplant with increased liver function tests.Technique: Coronal Acquisition, TR/TE/Flip = 7/2.1/45°, Field-of-View = 320 x 320 x 84 mm, Matrix = 256 x 128 x 28, Sequential Ordering of k-space, Acquisition Time = 27 s, 40 ml gadolinium contrast infused at 2 ml/ s, and timed empirically.Interpretation: Coronal oblique subvolume MIP shows a widely patent splenic and portal veins. There is minor narrowing (arrows) at the site of anastomosis between the native and donor portal veins.Diagnosis: Widely patent transplant portal vein.Submitted by Martin R.

Summary• Normal flow: Gd not necessary

• Slow flow: Gd essential

• Coronal 3D: thick slices & breathholding

• Useful for evaluating• Varices • Shunts• Tumor encasement • Tumor invasion• Thrombosis• Cavernous transformation• Budd Chiari• Liver transplant
