Overview
Abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of portal hypertension. Findings on MRI suggestive of portal hypertension include re-canalized umbilical vein, dilated portal vein and/or splanchnic veins, esophageal varices, collaterals in any abdominal organ, splenomegaly, and ascites.

- Abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of portal hypertension. Findings on MRI suggestive of portal hypertension include:
- Cirrhotic liver, as shrinkage and atrophy in liver[2]
- Re-canalized umbilical vein--pathognomonic[3]
- Dilated portal vein and/or splanchnic veins
- Esophageal varices [4]
- Collaterals in any abdominal organ[5]
- Splenomegaly
- Ascites
