title: CT image fusion for 3D depiction of anatomic abnormalities of the hepatic hilum.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this article is to show how CT image fusion with 3D reconstruction is used to depict in detail the anatomic structures of the hepatic hilum in the presence of hepatobiliary abnormalities.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  CT image fusion is a comprehensive imaging technique for preoperative evaluation of the blood vessels and bile ducts of the hepatic hilum.
