The right lobe of the liver is separated from the left lobe by the
main lobar fissure
Name the lobes of the liver
right, left, caudate
The main lobar fissure passes through the gb fossa to the
IVC
The right lobe of the liver can be divided into anterior and posterior segments by the
right intersegmental fissure
What is demonstrated by the arrow?
main lobar fissure
What divides the left lobe of the liver into medial and lateral segments?
left intersegmental fissure
Where is the caudate lobe situated?
on the posterior aspect of the liver in between the IVC (posterior border) and the ligamentum venosum (anterior border)
What is demonstrated by the arrow?
ligamentum venosum
This normal variation of the caudate lobe appears as the anteriormedial extension of the caudate process and may appear separate from the liver mimicing lymphadenopathy.
What is the papillary process
What is demonstrated by the arrows?
papillary process of the caudate lobe
What vessels are demonstrated above?
hepatic veins
This hepatic vessel courses within the main lobar fissure and separates the anterior segment of the right lobe from the medial segment of the left.
What is the middle hepatic vein
The left intersegmental fissure, which separates the medial segment of the left lobe from the lateral segment, can be divided into
cranial, middle, and caudal sections
Located in the right intersegmental fissure, this divides the cephalic aspect of the anterior and posterior segments of the right lobe
Right Hepatic Vein
Located in the main lobar fissure this separates right and left lobes
middle hepatic vein
Located in the left intersegmental fissure this divides the cephalic aspect of the medial and lateral segments of the left lobe.
left hepatic vein
Located in the anterior segment of the right lobe (intrasegmental) this courses centrally in the anterior segment of the right lobe
