Overview
MRI
MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome. MRI has a sensitivity and specificity of 90% or higher.MRI provides a larger image of the vasculature, Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3]. MRI, which has a sensitivity and specificity of 90% or higher, is becoming increasingly useful in providing less-invasive venography, angiography, and cholangiography findings. [24] may assist in differentiating acute from chronic Budd-Chiari syndrome, because it is able to provide a larger image of the vasculature, as well as determine if edema of the parenchyma is present (acute form).
