    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Hepatology
    • Vascular Anatomy

    Background:

    • The intrahepatic portal system is crucial for liver function.
    • Accurate visualization of this system is vital for diagnosing liver diseases.
    • Existing contrast agents can be costly and have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a new methodology for studying the intrahepatic portal system.
    • To assess the accuracy and advantages of using atmospheric air as a contrast medium.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized 48 normal and pathological human livers obtained post-mortem.
    • Performed post-mortem cholangiographies and created vinyl molds of the portal system.
    • Compared imaging results with existing literature and vinyl mold data.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed method demonstrated accuracy in visualizing the intrahepatic portal system.
    • Achieved cost-effective and easily performable imaging.
    • Allowed for repeated radiographic exposures and simultaneous contrast imaging of other hepatic systems.

    Conclusions:

    • Atmospheric air is a viable and advantageous contrast medium for studying the intrahepatic portal system.
    • This technique offers a cost-effective, repeatable, and versatile alternative for liver imaging research.
