Variations of ultrasonic anatomy of the hepatic veins within the human liver.
The aim of this study was to investigate various physiological variations of the hepatic veins within the liver of the 60 healthy subjects. All participants required physical examinations, different laboratory tests and upper abdominal ultrasonogram--all completely normal. Demonstration of the hepatic veins have been performed on sector real-time systems. The results clearly demonstrated that the physiological variations of the hepatic veins are very common. Ultrasonography obviously represents a diagnostic method of choice in the evaluation of anatomy of the hepatic venous system.
