  • Portal vein pressure measurement using elastography
    Patent number: 8727998
    Abstract: The shear stiffness of a subject's spleen is measured using elastography techniques such as ultrasound elastography or a magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) acquisition with an MRI system. A relationship between splenic shear stiffness and portal venous blood pressure is modeled and is used to calculate portal venous blood pressure non-invasively from the measured splenic shear stiffness.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 15, 2008
    Date of Patent: May 20, 2014
    Assignee: MAYO Foundation for Medical Education and Research
