CT Portography in Grading of Liver Cirrhosis
CT Portography in Grading of Liver Cirrhosis
Esophageal variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy are serious complications of hepatic
 cirrhosis, and they may lead to high mortality rate and severely threaten life quality of the
 patients
The occurrence and development of Esophageal variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy are
 closely related with portal vein system diseases, such as collateral circulation of portal
 hypertension and portal vein thrombosis.

 The prevention of Esophageal variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy in hepatic
 cirrhosis has become a hot spot in clinical practice.

 Three-dimensional reconstruction of images obtained by multi-slice spiral computed tomography
 portography (MSCTP) is clear, realistic, and accurate.

 It can directly and quickly display all anatomical information of collateral portal vein
 system, and is recognized as a good method to display blood vessels

 radiological parameters.

 Exclusion Criteria:
