Abstract

Alcohol-related liver disease is a major health problem, cause of extensive morbidity and mortality. From illness diagnosis to interventional treatment and imaging follow-up, radiology participates actively in the management of this disease, usually as part of a multidisciplinary medical staff. This thesis encloses a compilation of relevant scientific studies formulated, designed and conducted by the author in the field of diagnostic and interventional radiology for alcohol-related liver disease. The compilation demonstrates high quality of technical development for diagnostic improvement as well as innovations for disease-related interventional procedures. The author's studies contributed to radiology by providing new imaging features that represent additional patients' prognostic factors. Furthermore, the author also provided novelty in embolization material and endovascular technique for interventional procedures of patients with alcohol-related liver diseases. The relevance of these studies was confirmed by publication in prominent scientific medical journals. Researches similar to those presented in this thesis are essential to the progress of this medical specialty. Moreover, they are proof of the indispensable role of radiology for the management of this common disease.
