Hepatic Arterial System- A Radioanatomical Analysis With Multidetector Computed Tomography

Background: Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the branching pattern of hepatic arterial system with Multi Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT). Methods: 100 patients who underwent Contrast Computed Tomography of abdomen for any medical reasons were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Out of 100 patients analyzed 38% shown variations in hepatic artery branching pattern. Conclusion: Knowledge about hepatic artery variations using MDCT provides valuable guidance particularly for hepatobiliary and liver transplant surgeons and radiologist to make appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
