title: [Topografic anatomy of human liver in the early fetal period].
abstract: This investigation was aimed at the evaluation of holotopy, skeletotopy and sintopy of human liver in early fetal period. In 60 human fetuses aged 16-24 weeks, a quantitative characteristic of liver topography was obtained using a modification of N.I. Pirogov method and multiplane histitopograms with the application of multidimensional coordinate system. Fetal liver sintopy was described in sections performed in different planes and its peculiarities in the period studied was emphasized. As the standard sections to be used for the ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance diagnostics of fetal liver, authors recommend the horizontal sections, made at the level of IX-XII thoracic vertebrae.
