Sequential two-dimensional phase-contrast MR angiography can be used to accurately evaluate the anatomy, patency, and flow direction of the portal venous system and the presence, extent, and distribution of portosystemic collaterals. Its large field of view, insensitivity to the patient's body habitus, and graphic display format make this MR technique extremely useful for preoperative evaluation of patients with chronic liver disease and portal hypertension. This pictorial essay illustrates the spectrum of abnormalities seen on phase-contrast MR angiography of the portal venous system in patients with endstage liver diseases and portal hypertension.
