Description: Taichung, Taiwan. A case referred for living donor evaluation. The scan is performed by a multi-detector row computed tomography. The post-processing is done by the interpreting radiologist, Dr. I-Chen Tsai. The picture shows an unusual variation of hepatic artery. The left hepatic artery supplies not only left lobe but also segment 8. The anatomy makes right lobe donation impossible. Even used as left lobe or lateral segment donation, it would be very technically challenging in anastomosing the small arteries.
