Ultrasonic Contrast Portography for Demonstration of Intrahepatic Porto-systemic Shunts

In this report we demonstrate the presence of IHPSS by ultrasonic contrast portography with intravenous injection of microbubble-based contrast agent (MBCA). With this technique, the MBCA was depicted to enter the hepatic vein through the shunt, and then flowed into the inferior vena cava.
