title: Volume perfusion-CT of the liver: insights and applications.
abstract: The purpose of this article is to provide an up-to-date view on the spectrum of applications of volume perfusion-CT in the liver. Volume perfusion-CT yields important information on liver architecture and function by enabling quantification of dual liver parenchymal blood supply. Additional characterization of diffuse and focal liver diseases by illustration of distinct flow dynamics and permeability may become an important adjunct in the CT-evaluation of liver pathologies.
