Overview
The MRI may be used to diagnose/monitor biliary obstruction, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with hepatitis D. MRI findings in these patients may include: nodular appearance of the liver and signs of portal hypertension, such as ascites and splenomegaly.
MRI
In patients with hepatitis D, an MRI may be performed to:
- Exclude biliary obstruction
- Diagnose/monitor hepatic cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma[1]
The MRI findings in patients with hepatic cirrhosis may include: a shrunken liver with nodular appearance, and signs of portal hypertension, such as splenomegaly and ascites.
