Portal hypertension

Blood Vessels & Circulation

Abdomen & Pelvis

Portal hypertension is a build-up of pressure in the portal vein, the blood vessel that carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver. It is often linked to liver disease and can develop gradually. An MRI may show changes in the blood vessels of the portal system consistent with elevated pressure. Identifying portal hypertension early allows for management of the underlying cause that may help prevent serious complications from developing.

SCReening explained

It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
