Changes in the vascular system affect the blood vessels and can have serious health consequences. These include abdominal aortic aneurysms and thoracic aortic aneurysms, where the aorta expands, increasing the risk of rupture. An enlargement of the portal vein can indicate liver disease and lead to blood pressure problems in the venous system. Aortic ectasia, which describes an irregular enlargement of the aorta, can also result in severe complications.
MRI provides detailed imaging of aneurysms, aortic expansions, and changes in the portal vein, allowing even small changes to be detected early. This precise diagnostic tool helps minimize the risk of complications and enables targeted therapy.
