Abstract
Knowledge of the anatomy and segmental nature of the liver is essential in the management of patients with malignant liver lesions. Precise localization of the lesions is important as the feasibility and the type of a surgical treatment depend on it. The identification of anatomical landmarks in the liver with imaging modalities such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) allows precise localizing of liver lesions.
