description

MR imaging increasingly has been adopted for follow-up imaging post-liver transplantation and for diagnosis of its complications. These include vascular and biliary complications as well as post-transplant malignancies. Interpretation of postoperative MR imaging should take into account the surgical technique and expected post-transplant changes. Contrast-enhanced MR imaging has high sensitivity for identification of vascular complications. MR cholangiopancreatography on the other hand is the most accurate noninvasive method for evaluation of biliary complications.
