Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of 4D flow MRI in identifying and predicting high-risk gastro-oesophageal varices in patients with chronic liver disease.
- Researchers analyzed data from 38 patients, measuring various blood flow parameters to assess the risk associated with varices.
- Results indicated that 4D flow MRI has excellent sensitivity and specificity for identifying high-risk patients, potentially serving as a non-invasive alternative to traditional methods like endoscopy for early detection and intervention.
Purpose: Liver biopsy is still the standard method for the diagnosis of ductal plate malformations (DPM). However, it is an invasive tool. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown its accuracy in the diagnosis of this pathology.

In this study, we quantified the cross-sectional area of the sciatic and tibial nerves in patients with IBM comparing with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) and healthy controls using magnetic resonance neurography (MRN).
Methods: MRN of the sciatic and tibial nerves was performed at 3T using MPRAGE and Dixon acquisitions.
