Characterization of hepatic blood flow magnitude and distribution can lead to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of liver disease. However, the underlying patterns and dynamics of hepatic flow, such as the helical flow structure that often develops following the spleno-mesenteric confluence (SMC) of the hepatic portal vein, have not yet been comprehensively studied. In this study, we used magnetic resonance image (MRI)-based computational models to study the effects of the helical flo ...[more]
