[Angiography of the liver (author's transl)].
Angiography is a decisive technique of diagnosis of space-occupying processes in the liver. In contrast to laboratory-techniques, scintigraphy and ultrasound which ought to precede it, angiography permits a diagnosis of the type of lesion and is a guide to the chances of surgery on the basis of vascular topography. Angiographic findings in primary and secondary benign and malignant tumors of the liver, of cysts, abscesses and trauma are described and demonstrated on cases. The various forms of portal hypertension are a further field for angiographic diagnosis, explained on examples. The techniques of showing the hepatic arteries, the portal circulation and hepatic veins including direct portography are described and their usefulness for the various diseases discussed. The still little tested therapeutic use of liver angiography in hemorrhage and tumors is mentioned.
