Conclusion

Modern fast CT scanners with multiphasic imaging protocols are excellent tool for diagnosis, and can help in image guided intervention.

Porto-venous scans and delayed scans maybe helpful in certain cases. Venous channels should always be evaluated on CT scans of the abdomen and pelvis, as early diagnosis can reduce morbidity and mortality
