Two-dimensional time-of-flight (2D-TOF) magnetic resonance (MR) portography tends to produce general image degradation owing to the phase discrepancy caused by multiple breath-holding. To solve this problem, three-dimensional (3D)-MR portographies were reconstructed from image data acquired with a bolus injection of Gd-DTPA with single breath-holding in 20 subjects with normal liver function. 2D-TOF MR portographies were obtained beforehand for the comparison. All the images were displayed in a cine mode for the two MR angiographic techniques. Visualization was assessed as positive when the vessel was visualized without disruption. 3D-MR portography produced a positive rate of over 80% for all but the left first-order branch. With the 2D-TOF techniques, however, only the portal trunk and left second-order branches were visualized at this rate. The positive rate for most portal branches was significantly higher with 3D-MR portography than with the 2D-TOF technique. In conclusion, 3D-MR portography makes it possible to depict the portal venous system without disruption using a short measurement time with single breath-holding and has the potential to become a powerful method for abdominal MR angiography.
