Publisher's Synopsis
Following an outline of the technology involved in preparing casts and the types of casts made, this atlas devotes a whole section to three blood vessel systems as well as the biliary system. Apart from normal anatomy, it presents all other major structural variations together with the liver blood vessel structures and bile ducts of each liver segment. The last section shows correlations between systems as well as the division of the liver into sectors and segments. The different systems were each injected with coloured dyes to produce around 100 striking photographs of liver casts. This close collaboration between a surgeon and an anatomist ensures that the atlas is ideal for clinical practice. "... this superb book covers the aspects of the internal anatomy of the liver ... beautifully illustrated ... represents a tremendous amount of work, helps in better understanding the internal anatomy of the liver as seen on modern imaging ... I recommend this atlas without any hesitation ... the figures alone are worth the price". P. Soyer, European Radiology "... an important step forward in understanding the surgical anatomy of the liver ... This valuable publication is expected to become one of the basic textbooks for surgeons engaged in hepatic surgery, and may also be of interest to other specialists concerned with liver disease ..."
