Porto-mesenteric four-dimensional flow MRI: a novel non-invasive technique for assessment of gastro-oesophageal varices
4D flow MRI can be used as a potential alternative for endoscopy to predict patients with high-risk varices. Based on portal vein fractional flow change, splenic flow and velocity, 4D MRI can predict and locate high-risk varices. Earlier identification of high-risk varices can allow for interventions to prevent adverse events.
