Overview
More effective than CT scan in identifying lesions. Useful in differentiating the hepatic encephalopathy from the underlying brain causes. Increased resonance in T1 weighted images in hepatic encephalopathy due to manganese.[1]
MRI Scan
- More effective than CT scan in identifying lesions
- Useful in differentiating the hepatic encephalopathy from the underlying brain causes.
- Increased signal sensitivity in globus pallidus on T1 weighted images.[2]
- This intensity may be due to accumulation of manganese[1]
