Abstract:
Computed tomography (CT) angiography is fast replacing the diagnostic conventional angiography and digital subtraction angiography. A case of a type V portal vein anomaly, which was diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound and confirmed on CT angiography, is presented. Demonstration of the portal vein branching pattern and its anomalies assumed importance and significance after split liver and segmental transplantation techniques were developed. There are 5 variations of portal vein branching that have been described.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
