【Abstract】ObjectiveTo study the advances in use of imaging in the evaluation of living donor liver.
Methods The literatures in recent years on the use of imaging in evaluation of living donor liver were reviewed.
ResultsPreoperative computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the donor allowed accurate determination of liver volume and rough determination of macrovesicular hepatic steatosis of the liver. CT angiography could assess the anatomy of hepatic artery, portal vein and hepatic veins. Intraoperative cholangiography allowed detection of the anatomy of the biliary tree.
ConclusionImaging techniques are widely used in the evaluation of liver volume, vasculature and biliary system in the living donor liver.
