Objective:
To investigate the clinical value of three-dimensional dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiography in the liver transplantation.
Methods:
MR scanning was performed both before and after the operation in 9 patients elected for liver transplantation, and after three-dimensional reconstruction at a computer workstation, the three- dimensional images of the inferior vena cava, hepatic veins, portal vein and bile duct were obtained.
Results:
The three- dimensional images could be rotated in space to show the size, shape, lining of the veins and anatomic relationships between each other.
Conclusion:
Three-dimensional dynamic contrast-enhanced MR angiography can be of value in liver transplantation.
