A systematic approach to this pathology aids in accurately monitoring and characterizing the disease, leading to a well-defined final diagnosis. Diagnosing portal vein tumor thrombosis in HCC patients is crucial due to its poor prognosis and reliance on palliative treatment.CECT is an invaluable tool for both diagnosis and identifying complications.CT is the primary modality for characterization of PVTT, due to its advantages compared to other types of investigation:
- It is fast and accessible.
- It follows the extent of thrombosis, signs of bowel ischemia or portal hypertension.
- It can find the cause of the portal vein thrombosis (PVT).
