Duplex sonography added a new dimension to real-time sonographic imaging and can be used to characterize flow dynamics. Unfortunately, duplex sonography also has significant drawbacks, most of which are the result of the limited sampling ability of pulse-gated technology and the inability to provide a global display of Doppler information. Sonographic imaging of intraabdominal vessels has improved markedly with the advent of color Doppler techniques. This article reviews the use of color Doppler sonography in the evaluation of hepatic vessels. The complementary role of Doppler spectral analysis is also considered.

D011169 Portal Vein A short thick vein formed by union of the superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein. Portal Veins,Vein, Portal,Veins, Portal
D011170 Portasystemic Shunt, Surgical Surgical venous shunt between the portal and systemic circulation to effect decompression of the portal circulation. It is performed primarily in the treatment of bleeding esophageal varices resulting from portal hypertension. Types of shunt include portacaval, splenorenal, mesocaval, splenocaval, left gastric-caval (coronary-caval), portarenal, umbilicorenal, and umbilicocaval.

D006502 Budd-Chiari Syndrome A condition in which the hepatic venous outflow is obstructed anywhere from the small HEPATIC VEINS to the junction of the INFERIOR VENA CAVA and the RIGHT ATRIUM. Usually the blockage is extrahepatic and caused by blood clots (THROMBUS) or fibrous webs. Parenchymal FIBROSIS is uncommon.
