Abstract:BackgroundCirrhosis patients often exhibit clinical symptoms such as right liver atrophy, portal hypertension, spleen enlargement and increased blood supply, which exhibit considerable variation between the left and right liver sections. These differences are hypothesized to stem from disparities in blood flow within the left and right portal vein (PV) branches. However, rigorous quantitative evidence remains scarce.PurposeWe mainly aim at quantitatively revealing the relationship between the blood flow rates … Show more
