Study Notes
Liver Ultrasound Protocol
- Liver Assessment: Size, Texture, Vascularity, Biliary Tree, Masses or Collections.
Normal Liver by Ultrasound
- Left Portal Vein: Travels longer to the left before dividing into medial and lateral segmental branches.
- Right Portal Vein: Divides early into anterior and posterior segmental branches.
- Hepatic Artery: Branches off the celiac artery and supplies oxygen-rich blood to the liver.
- Proper Hepatic Artery: Enters the porta hepatis and splits into left and right hepatic arteries.
-
Hepatic Veins: Three main veins drain the liver, located between major hepatic segments.
- Middle Hepatic Vein: Between right and left lobes.
- Left Hepatic Vein: Between medial and lateral segments of the left lobe.
- Right Hepatic Vein: Between the anterior and posterior segments of the right lobe.
Diseased Liver by Ultrasound
- Hepatic Resection: Dividing the hepatic parenchyma to one side of the anatomic division helps reduce blood loss during resection.
Preparation for Ultrasound
- Fasting: 6 hours to reduce bowel gas and minimize gallbladder contraction.
Portal Vein
- Diameter: Not specified in text, but measurement is implied.
