title: Topometry of normal intrahepatic bile ducts.
abstract: This paper focuses on practical problems which may also prove to be of theoretical importance, by presenting a method of establishing an exact topometry of the intrahepatic bile ducts. Measurements were made on corrosive casts of the intrahepatic bile ducts from 13 human livers. On the basis of the topometric results presented it is possible to construct an adequate model by means of plastic tubes and to use it for the study of bile flow.
