Abstract:
The liver's unique blood supply facilitates multiple important physiologic roles. Liver vascular disorders have distinct appearances on imaging examinations and may mimic other pathologies. This article reviews the imaging appearances of vascular disorders from a multimodality perspective. Liver vascular pathologies are categorized by how they affect liver inflow, liver outflow, and those with abnormal arterial-venous connections. By understanding the physiologic and pathologic underpinnings of the hepatic vasculature, the radiologist is well positioned to positively affect patient care.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder
Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not...
