Bile duct diffusion-weighted image hyperintensity predicts intrahepatic biliary complications after ABO-incompatible liver transplantation.

Intrahepatic biliary complications following ABO-incompatible liver transplantation can cause biliary stricture and biloma formation. Bile duct hyperintensity on early postoperative diffusion-weighted imaging was associated with increased intrahepatic biliary complication risk. This marker is an additional method for identifying individuals who require intensive management to prevent complications.
