Purpose: To assess diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of spleen in prediction and grading of esophageal varices (OV) in cirrhotic children.

Methods: This prospective study was conducted upon 30 children with cirrhotic children with OV and 10 age-gender matched controls that underwent DTI of abdomen. Mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) of spleen were calculated and matched with the grading of OV at endoscopy and laboratory biomarkers of portal hypertension.

Ahmed Ramadan Ismail's research focuses on advanced imaging techniques, specifically diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), to improve diagnosis and management of medical conditions in pediatric patients with liver disease.
His study involving cirrhotic children with portal hypertension demonstrates that DTI of the spleen can be effective in predicting and grading esophageal varices, offering a non-invasive assessment method.
Findings from the research highlight the correlation between mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) values of the spleen and the severity of esophageal varices, providing valuable insights for clinical practices in pediatric hepatology.
