Liver Flashcards
2/3 of liver blood supply is from
Portal vein
Imaging for quantitation of liver fatty infiltration and other diffuse hepatic diseases
MR spectroscopy
Provides functional information in characterizing focal nodular hyperplasia
Radionuclide imaging
Useful imaging for definitive diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma
Hepatic radionuclide imaging
What divides the liver into right and left lobes
Middle hepatic vein, IVC and gallbladder fossa
What divides the right liver lobe into anterior and posterior segments
Right hepatic vein
What divides the left liver lobe into medial and lateral segments
Left hepatic vein
What divides the left lobe into superior and inferior segments
Left Portal vein
What divides the right lobe into superior and inferior segments
Right portal vein
Caudate lobe extends from the fissure of ligamentum venosum and the
Inferior vena cava
Hepatic venous drainage of caudate lobe is directly into
IVC
Normal variant of hepatic shape found most often in women
Reidel lobe
Method of choice for most hepatic imaging
Mdct
Screening method for diffuse or focal liver disease
Ultrasound
Used for characterization of cavernous hemangioma and focal nodular hyperplasia
Radionuclide imaging
