Overview
The MRI may be used to diagnose/monitor biliary obstruction, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatitis B patients. MRI findings in these patients may include nodular appearance and signs of portal hypertension, such as ascites and splenomegaly.[1]
MRI
In patients with hepatitis B, 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 a nodular appearance and signs of portal hypertension, such as splenomegaly and ascites.
