  		Fig. 1A —36-year-old man with normal portal venous system. Unenhanced MR angiograms obtained with single-breath-hold 3D half-Fourier fast spin-echo sequence show excellent detail of anatomic features. GB = gallbladder, CBD = common bile duct, MPV = main portal vein, SV = splenic vein, GT = gastrocolic trunk, LPV = left portal vein, RPV = right portal vein, LGV = left gastric vein, IMV = inferior mesenteric vein. Left anterior oblique maximum-intensity-projection MR portogram shows superior mesenteric vein and splenic vein joining to form portal vein.

  		Fig. 1B —36-year-old man with normal portal venous system. Unenhanced MR angiograms obtained with single-breath-hold 3D half-Fourier fast spin-echo sequence show excellent detail of anatomic features. GB = gallbladder, CBD = common bile duct, MPV = main portal vein, SV = splenic vein, GT = gastrocolic trunk, LPV = left portal vein, RPV = right portal vein, LGV = left gastric vein, IMV = inferior mesenteric vein. Right anterior oblique maximum-intensity-projection MR portogram shows portal vein dividing into left and right portal veins. Intrahepatic portal branches are evident.

  		Fig. 1C —36-year-old man with normal portal venous system. Unenhanced MR angiograms obtained with single-breath-hold 3D half-Fourier fast spin-echo sequence show excellent detail of anatomic features. GB = gallbladder, CBD = common bile duct, MPV = main portal vein, SV = splenic vein, GT = gastrocolic trunk, LPV = left portal vein, RPV = right portal vein, LGV = left gastric vein, IMV = inferior mesenteric vein. Right (C and D) and left (E and F) anterior oblique source MR images show each branch more clearly than do A and B.
