Portal Venous System and Its Tributaries: A Radial Endosonographic Assessment

The use of Color Doppler in endosonography has enabled detailed real-time assessment of the abdominal vasculature. Standardstations are used during the routine evaluation on endosonography. However, the imaging techniques do not describe the vascularimaging of the portal venous system and its tributaries, in detail. This article demonstrates the normal findings on the portal venoussystem and its tributaries using radial endosonography.
