[Liver anatomy: echography and Doppler].
Ultrasonography is an excellent tool for the study of the anatomy of the human liver. This article shows, with the help of sonographic views along the long axis of portal and hepatic veins, and the different landmarks of the liver, how to delineate the eight segments of the liver. Doppler examination allows indentification of the portal veins and the hepatic arteries in the portal triad.
