Measurement of liver volumes by portal vein flow by Doppler ultrasound in living donor liver transplantation

Background The accurate estimation of liver volume and right/left ratio in donor candidates is critical, but there is no method using portal vein (PV) flow. Methods Of 125 donor candidates, right/left liver volume ratio was estimated using ultrasound (US)‐PV area ratio and Doppler US‐PV flow ratio,...

Description
Summary:Background The accurate estimation of liver volume and right/left ratio in donor candidates is critical, but there is no method using portal vein (PV) flow. Methods Of 125 donor candidates, right/left liver volume ratio was estimated using ultrasound (US)‐PV area ratio and Doppler US‐PV flow ratio, and the results were compared with CT volumetry. We analyzed these results in 76 donors who underwent hemihepatectomy. We evaluated diagnostic values of Doppler US‐PV flow for
