While injecting the circulatory system of a cat recently, I noticed that the injection of the systemic veins through the right femoral resulted in nearly filling the hepatic' portal tributaries, so that when I came to make the usual yellow injection of the portal system through one of the mesenteric

✦ Synopsis
PC-VIPR allows for characterization and quantification of hemodynamics in the entire hepatic system as well as inherent anatomical co-registration from a single scan.
Results shown here reveal the potential of PC-VIPR for monitoring treatments for portal hypertension such as β-blockers and TIPS.

The aim of this study was to develop a technique that could serve as an index of portosystemic shunt (PSS) blood flow in portal hypertensive rats whose main shunt is the splenorenal shunt (SRS). The main hemodynamic measurements performed were: SRS blood flow by the transit-time ultrasound (TTU) met
Total portal-systemic shunting in normal animals is associated with splanchnic and systemic vasodilation, suggesting that vasodilation in cirrhosis may be facilitated by spontaneous shunts promoted by portal hypertension. However, the mechanism of this vasodilation is unknown. The aim is to study th
Hemimegalencephaly (HME) is a severe unilateral brain malformation the prognosis of which may be improved by hemispherectomy. HME also provides a unique opportunity to compare normal and pathological hemispheric function in the same patient. We performed a serial functional cerebral imaging study in
The ultrasonic duplex system, which is composed of a pulsed Doppler flowmeter and a linear array B-mode scanner, was developed for the purpose of quantitative transcutaneous measurement of blood flow. It was applied here to the study of portal blood flow in a normal series with healthy volunteers as
