title: [Biliary and vascular anatomy of the liver].
abstract: This paper is a review of the anatomy of the bile ducts and the vascular anatomy of the liver. This anatomy is subject of numerous variations which can be explained by the embryology of the liver and its vessels. The perfect knowledge of this anatomy is useful for an accurate interpretation of the conventional and slice imaging techniques of the liver. It is also of major importance for an appropriate management of all kinds of hepatic vascular and biliary percutaneous procedures.
