Brain core temperature of patients before and after orthotopic liver transplantation assessed by diffusion weighted imaging thermometry

Abstract

Neurological complications are common in patients with end-stage liver disease or cirrhosis, and they can occur at any time before and after the liver transplantation. Extrapyramidal sign and hepatic encephalopathy could affect patients with poorly compensated cirrhosis or appear after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt positioning
