Abstract

Purpose

The knowledge of celiac trunk vascularization and hepatic arteries’ configuration is extremely important in several areas like hepato-biliary pancreatic surgery, as well as in interventional radiological treatment. Our purpose was to evaluate the incidence of anatomic variation of arterial liver vascularization by using MDCTA in a large, homogeneous population.

Methods

Between January 2004 and December 2009, 1,910 patients (1,156 men; mean age, 62.7 years) who underwent MDCT were retrospectively analyzed. Hepatic arterial configuration was classified according to Michels’ classification. Image quality was graded according to an ordinal scale.

Results

Of the 1,910 examined patients, 281 (15, 67%) were excluded because of sub-optimal image quality. Of the remaining 1,629 patients (986 men; mean age, 61.1 years ± 8 (SD); age range, 19–90 years), anatomic variations were detected in 631 patients (38.73%).

Conclusions

MDCT was useful in analyzing arterial liver configuration and demonstrated the presence of a significant incidence of arterial variants (38.73%) in the examined population.
