Core Tip
Core Tip: The liver has a complex vascular anatomy. Imaging findings may not be readily apparent in vascular disorders of the liver. Computed tomography angiography is an excellent imaging modality for visualizing the vascular anatomy of patients for treatment planning. This review article focuses on the vascular anatomy of the liver and imaging findings in some acute hepatic vascular diseases.
