This review details magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings in cirrhosis, covering liver changes, associated conditions, and complications. Understanding these MR imaging features is crucial for clinical practice and patient management.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Cirrhosis is a late stage of scarring (fibrosis) of the liver caused by many forms of liver diseases.
  • Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a powerful tool for evaluating liver morphology and detecting complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of MR imaging findings in cirrhosis.
  • To discuss the clinical implications of these MR findings.

Main Methods:

  • Review of MR imaging features of cirrhosis.
  • Analysis of intra- and extrahepatic changes associated with cirrhosis.
  • Evaluation of serial MR findings in progressive cirrhosis.
  • Inclusion of newly described MR signs and post-transplant complications.

Main Results:

  • Detailed description of morphologic liver changes in early and advanced cirrhosis.
  • Spectrum of intra- and extrahepatic findings including regenerative nodules, fibrosis, portal hypertension, and gastrointestinal changes.
  • Identification of serial MR changes in progressive cirrhosis and a novel "expanded gallbladder fossa sign".

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive understanding of MR imaging features of cirrhosis is essential for accurate diagnosis and management.
  • MR imaging plays a vital role in assessing cirrhosis progression, complications, and post-transplant status.
