Title: CT measurment of hepatic portal venous system
Abstract: Objective: To study portal vein anatomy structure of CT imaging. Methods: To use helical CT contrast-enchanced portal vein portography to measure the short diameter of portal venous system according to special part of every vessels. Results: The normal contrast group short diameter of portal vein was 1.32cm, SPV was 0.96cm and SMV was 1.23cm. PV/AO was 0.61. The short diameter of PV in the hepatocirrhosis group had not difference in the statistics compared with the normal group, but SPV had significant difference between groups. Conclusion: The short diameter of portal vein cannot be used to diagnose portal hypertension, but SPV can diagnose early portal hypertension. Ratio will more sensitive for dignosis.
