MRI of common and uncommon pathologies involving the periportal space: a pictorial essay

Authors: Christine U. Lee, James F. Glockner

Published in: Abdominal Radiology | Issue 1/2016

Abstract

Imaging detection and differential diagnoses of pathology involving the periportal space can be challenging. MRI is a useful technique for assessment of the periportal space since it readily distinguishes normal and abnormal vascular and biliary anatomy, and the excellent soft tissue discrimination allows for detection of subtle lesions. This pictorial essay describes the anatomy of the periportal space and illustrates the MRI appearance of a variety of pathologies that can affect this region.
