title: Imaging of liver transplant and its complications.
abstract: The role of diagnostic imaging in liver transplantation is reviewed with a focus on assessing for postoperative complications after adult orthotopic transplant. The normal postoperative appearance after liver transplant and imaging appearances of both vascular and nonvascular complications are discussed. The key role of Doppler ultrasound as the first-line imaging modality is highlighted.
