Comparison of computed tomography (CT) arterioportography (AP) (a, c) with standard CT after intravenous contrast injection (portal venous phase: b, d) in a 6-year-old male patient with portal vein thrombosis. Axial (a) and coronal (c) images of CT AP after contrast injection into the superior mesenteric artery allow to clearly detect multiple jejunal varices (arrows and circle) and portal biliopathy (arrowheads and open arrows: multiple small peribiliary collaterals, irregular and dilated bile ducts). Axial (b) and coronal (d) standard CT in the portal venous phase after intravenous contrast injection performed 2 weeks before CT AP does not detect any jejunal varices; evidence of portal biliopathy is lower than that provided by CT AP
