The imaging characteristics of patients' portal vein and its branches and collateral circulation were analyzed. Results The main portal vein and its branches like splenic vein can be clearly showed by 64 row spiral CT, and the degree of portal hypertension and the major diseases can be preliminary assessed through their imaging manifestations, and the distribution range can be judged clearly.
