 Correlate imaging with
pathology.
 Discuss radiologic imaging
options.

ANATOMY / PHYSIOLOGY
Portal vein flow
Hepatic arterial flow
Hepatic vein flow
Biliary drainage
PORTAL BLOOD FLOW
The Portal vein is formed by
the juncture of the Splenic vein
and the Superior Mesenteric vein.
The Inferior Mesenteric vein
usually joins the Splenic vein.

biliary dilatation or inflammatory change
CHOLELITHIASIS
MURPHY’S SIGN
A Sonographic Murphy’s sign is focal
tenderness corresponding to the gallbladder.
Along with other ultrasound evidence of
inflammation (gallbladder wall thickening,
pericholecystic fluid) it helps physicians
separate Acute Cholecystitis from gallstones
alone.
CHOLECYSTITIS
With diffuse wall thickening
and edema.
Ultrasound and CT demostration of edema in and around GB wall
QUESTION?
CHOLECYSTITIS
Pain is often referred to other location
with cholecystitis, Which is the correct
answer?
1--Shoulder
2--Umbilicus
3--EG junction
4--Back

Hemorrhagepseudoaneurysm
Pancreatic insufficiency
Large retrogastric fluid collection is a pseudocyst related to pancreatic enzyme break
down of tissue.
SPECIAL CASES
 Emphysematous cholecystitis
 Acalculous cholecystitis
 Gallstone ileus
A 64-year-old man with insulin-dependent adult-onset diabetes
mellitus seeks emergency medical treatment after 2 days of
increasingly severe abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant that
has spread over the entire abdomen and is associates with nausea,
vomiting, fever and chills. On examination, he is alert and oriented
but appears to be quite acutely distressed. Vital signs are
temperature 39.4C (103F), pulse 140 beats per minute, and blood
pressure 100/60mmHg. His sclerae are mildly icteric. His abdomen
is diffusely tender with marked guarding in the right upper quadrant.

QUESTION?
IN GALLSTONE ILEUS OBSTUCTION OF THE GI
TRACT OCCURS COMMONLY IN THE:
1--Pyloric channel
2--Duodenal C loop
3--Ileocecal valve
4--Hepatic flexure

gallstones that erode into duodenum from GB.

JAUNDICE
VIRAL HEPATITIS
IMAGING- LIMITED VALUE
Acute – usually normal
helps to exclude obstruction
Chronic – increased malignancy risk
THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF
OBSTRUCTIVE JAUNDICE
IN THE UNITED STATES
1--Neoplasms of the pancreas
2—Choledocholithiasis
3--Pancreatitis
4--Iatrogenic strictures of the biliary tree

GALL BLADDER
A palpable gall bladder in an asymtomatic
patient can be seen with pancreatic
carcinoma due to distal obstruction
(Courvoisier sign)
SCLEROSING CHOLANGITIS
A 35 yo patient with history of
ulcerative colitis comes to see you
for pruritus. You notice
yellow sclera and mucous
membranes. His alkaline
phosphatase is elevated and the
MR cholangiogram reports
abnormal appearance with
multiple stenoses and focal dilated
segments appearing beaded.
25 yo with 2yr dx of ulcerative colitis was
managed well. Now he has increasing
pain and diarrhea.
• Physical examination of this thin, pale young man, who appears
acutely ill, reveals these vital signs: Temperature 37.8C (100F),
pulse 110 beats per minute, and blood pressure 120/70mmHg. The
lower abdomen is mildly and diffusely tender, but there is no
rebound tenderness and bowel sounds are active. Stool is grossly
bloody. Sigmoidoscopy, shows marked mucosal erythema and
friability; diffuse ulceration is present, and an exudate contains pus
and blood.
• Three hours after the Sigmoidoscopy the man’s abdominal pain
worsened markedly. Vital signs now are temperature 39.6C
(103.2F), pulse 130 beats per minute, and blood pressure 90/60
mmHg. On examination the abdomen is distended and diffusely
tender with rebound.
PSEUDOPOLYPS

TOXIC MEGACOLON
STAGING
MALIGNANCY / INFECTION
Mesenteric blood flow
spreads disease to liver
GI malignancy often
spreads to liver as first
site of hematogenous
extention.
HEPATIC ABSCESS FROM
GI INFECTION
Mesenteric venous blood flow can spread infection to the liver.
PALPABLE PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS
 Enlarged liver
 Enlarged spleen
 Ascites - distention
PALPABLE LIVER-metastatic disease
A palpable enlarged liver edge is nonspecific
but raises questions of mass or liver pathology.
ENLARGED PALPABLE SPLEEN
Enlarged spleen raises issue of lymphoproliferative diseases or infection.

*Note dilated splenic vein
VARICES
Varices are at risk for hemorrhage. They can be treated by embolization at GI
endoscopy or vascular shunt of portal blood flow by surgery or radiology to
decrease portal pressure.
CIRRHOSIS
Portal hypertension
Here long standing cirrhosis has lead to a scarred shrunken liver. Portal hypertension
resulting leads to varices and redirection of blood flow into a recanalized umbilical vein.
