Abstract:
Biliary atresia(BA) is a serious digestive system disease caused by the obliteration of intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary system of infancy.Without prompt treatment,BA can cause biliary cirrhosis,and ultimately cause liver failure,leading to death.The early diagnosis of BA is crucial to the early treatment.At present,liver biopsy is considered to be the gold standard of diagnosis of BA,but this method has some shortcomings such as invasive,repeated sampling and subjectivity.In contrast,ultrasonography (US),magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and hepatobiliary scintigraphy(HBS) gradually play important roles in clinical diagnoses of BA and become the hotspot of BA diagnoses.This paper focuses on reviewing the clinical applications of BA imaging diagnoses and the latest research progress.
