Predicting gastroesophageal varices through spleen magnetic resonance elastography in pediatric liver fibrosis

Figure 2 Liver magnetic resonance imaging of biliary atresia patients with different varices grades. Liver magnetic resonance imaging images are shown from three respective patients with grade 0 (first row), grade 1 (second row) and grade 2 (third row) gastroesophageal varices, including (A) axial single-shot fast spin-echo T2-weighted images, (B) magnitude images and (C) post-processed shear stiffness maps with color-coded elastograms from 0 to 20 kPa. The elastograms display the progressively increasing splenic stiffness in these patients.
