"Magnetisation-prepared T1-weighted GRE (MPRAGE) is useful in minimising movement artifacts 10."
"useful to show water content in bile ducts, cysts, and focal lesions."
"T1-weighted GRE fat-suppressed volume acquisition or spoiled GRE squences can be used."
"The middle hepatic vein (also known as principal plane or Cantlie's line) divides the liver into right and left lobes under Couinaud classification 9. The line is located at 4 cm to the left of the falciform ligament 9."
"Most of the venous drainage from the liver passes into the three hepatic veins which drain into the inferior vena cava. These veins also helps to stabilise the liver. Hepatic veins do not have valves 9."

"The liver is an irregular, wedge-shaped organ that lies below the diaphragm in the right upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity and is in close approximation with the diaphragm, stomach and gallbladder. It is largely covered by the costal cartilages 9."
"The liver is described as having two surfaces, diaphragmatic and visceral, sharply demarcated anteriorly by the inferior margin:"
"related to the oesophagus, stomach, and lesser omentum on the left, pancreas and duodenum in the midline, right kidney, adrenal, and hepatic flexure of the colon on the right 9"
"the surface contains impressions for the adjacent structures, including of the stomach, oesophagus, right suprarenal gland, right kidney, gallbladder, duodenum and hepatic flexure of the colon"
"Traditionally, the liver was divided into four anatomical lobes: the right, left, caudate and quadrate lobes. However, this has been superseded by the use of the Couinaud classification which divides the liver into eight functional units (known as segments), supplied by individual segmental hepatic arteries, portal veins and bile ducts, which can be individually resected 9."
"related to the oesophagus, stomach, and lesser omentum on the left, pancreas and duodenum in the midline, right kidney, adrenal, and hepatic flexure of the colon on the right 9"
"the surface contains impressions for the adjacent structures, including of the stomach, oesophagus, right suprarenal gland, right kidney, gallbladder, duodenum and hepatic flexure of the colon"
"Oxygen is provided from both sources; approximately half of the liver's oxygen demand is met by the hepatic portal vein, and half is met by the hepatic arteries."
