Abstract

Hepatic angiography has been used in the diagnosis of a wide varity of diseases of the liver. This study wasan analysis of pattern of branch and segmental anatomy of intrahepatic artery in 100 patients who received hepaticarteriography. Of 100 patients, CT in 22 patients and US in 2 patients were compared to the angiograph forevaluation of segmental anatomy and superselective arteriography was carried out in 2 cadaveric livers for spacialanatomy. The results were as follows: The hepatic artery divides into a right and a left hepatic arteries. 1.Right hepatic artery has six branches: anteroinferior, anterosuperior, posteroinferior, posterosuperior, lateraland central branches. 2.
