title: [Imaging techniques for the pre- and postoperative evaluation of recipients with living-donor liver transplantation].
abstract: Whole-liver transplantation is a worldwide-accepted method for treatment of end-stage liver disease. As a result of the shortage of cadaveric livers, split-liver transplantation and living-donor liver transplantation are becoming more common. Preoperative imaging of the donors and recipients are indispensable for surgery planning, while postoperative imaging highly contributes to the success of transplantation by follow-up the transplanted organ and early diagnosis of possible sequelae. The authors delineate both pre- and postoperative imaging of recipients of living-donor transplantation, including the role of conventional x-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI techniques, and also the different possibilities in the field of interventional radiology.
