Figure 2

MRI sequences of a patient with moderate PHT (43 year old female). There is slight enlargement of IVC and hepatic veins. A Coronal T2-weighted sequence, B Axial T2-weighted sequence C Axial diffusion-weighted image (b = 1000 s/mm2), D ADC map of the same patient; calculated ADC was 1.86 × 10ˉ³ mm²/s (increased diffusion due to intercellular fluid accumulation that is not apparent visually, however detectable with ADC calculation).
