There is a need for noninvasive methods for the diagnosis and monitoring of portal hypertension (PH).
To 1) assess the correlation of liver and spleen T and T measurements with portal pressures in patients with chronic liver disease, and 2) to compare the diagnostic performance of the relaxation parameters with radiological assessment of PH.
Prospective.
Twenty-five patients (M/F 16/9, mean age 56 years, range 21-78 years) undergoing portal pressure (hepatic venous pressure gradient [HVPG]) measurements.
FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 1.5T abdominal MRI scan, including T and T mapping.
Liver and spleen T and T , radiological PH score, and (normalized) spleen length were evaluated.
Spearman correlation of all MRI parameters with HVPG was assessed. The diagnostic performance of the assessed parameters for prediction of PH (HVPG ≥5 mmHg) and clinically significant PH (CSPH, HVPG ≥10 mmHg) was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.
The mean HVPG measurement was 7.8 ± 5.3 mmHg (PH, n = 18 [72%] including CSPH, n = 9 [36%]). PH score, (normalized) spleen length and spleen T significantly correlated with HVPG, with the strongest correlation found for spleen T (r = 0.613, P = 0.001). Spleen T was the only parameter that showed significant diagnostic performance for assessment of PH (area under the curve [AUC] 0.817, P = 0.015) and CSPH (AUC = 0.778, P = 0.024). Normalized spleen length also showed significant diagnostic performance for prediction of CSPH, with a slightly lower AUC (= 0.764, P = 0.031). The radiological PH score, T and T of the liver and T of the spleen, did not show significant diagnostic performance for assessment of CSPH (P > 0.075).
Spleen T showed a significant correlation with portal pressure and showed improved diagnostic performance for prediction of CSPH compared to radiological assessment. These initial results need confirmation in a larger cohort.

需要用于门静脉高压症(PH)诊断和监测的非侵入性方法。
1)评估慢性肝病患者肝脏和脾脏T1及T2测量值与门静脉压力的相关性,2)比较弛豫参数与PH的放射学评估的诊断性能。
前瞻性研究。
25例接受门静脉压力(肝静脉压力梯度[HVPG])测量的患者(男/女16/9,平均年龄56岁,范围21 - 78岁)。
场强/序列:1.5T腹部MRI扫描,包括T1和T2映射。
评估肝脏和脾脏的T1及T2、放射学PH评分和(标准化)脾脏长度。
评估所有MRI参数与HVPG的Spearman相关性。通过受试者操作特征(ROC)分析确定评估参数对PH(HVPG≥5mmHg)和临床显著性PH(CSPH,HVPG≥10mmHg)预测的诊断性能。
平均HVPG测量值为7.8±5.3mmHg(PH患者18例[72%],包括CSPH患者9例[36%])。PH评分、(标准化)脾脏长度和脾脏T2与HVPG显著相关,脾脏T2的相关性最强(r = 0.613,P = 0.001)。脾脏T2是唯一对PH评估(曲线下面积[AUC] 0.817,P = 0.015)和CSPH评估(AUC = 0.778,P = 0.024)显示出显著诊断性能的参数。标准化脾脏长度对CSPH预测也显示出显著诊断性能,AUC略低(= 0.764,P = 0.031)。肝脏的放射学PH评分、T1及T2以及脾脏的T1对CSPH评估未显示出显著诊断性能(P > 0.075)。
脾脏T2与门静脉压力显著相关,与放射学评估相比显示出对CSPH预测的诊断性能改善。这些初步结果需要在更大队列中得到证实。
