Potential Living Liver Donors: Evaluation with an All-in-One Protocol with Multi–Detector Row CT

Abstract

Multi-detector row computed tomography was performed for the preharvest evaluation of 14 potential living liver donors. Both a biliary contrast agent and a conventional iodinated contrast agent were administered intravenously. This protocol included acquisition of three subsequent scans and allowed accurate assessment of the hepatic parenchymal morphology and volumetrics and a detailed analysis of the biliary and vascular anatomies.
