Potential Living Liver Donors: Evaluation with an All-in-One Protocol with Multi–Detector Row CT¹

¹ From the Departments of Diagnostic Radiology (T.S., J.S., J.F.D., S.G.R.) and Transplantation Surgery (S.N., M.M.), University Hospital Essen, Hufelandstrasse 55, D-45122 Essen, Germany. Received August 7, 2001; revision requested September 28; revision received November 27; accepted January 7, 2002. Address correspondence to T.S. (e-mail: tobias.schroeder@uni-essen.de).

Multi–detector row computed tomography was performed for the preharvest evaluation of 14 potential living liver donors. Both a biliary contrast agent and a conventional iodinated contrast agent were administered intravenously. This protocol included acquisition of three subsequent scans and allowed accurate assessment of the hepatic parenchymal morphology and volumetrics and a detailed analysis of the biliary and vascular anatomies.
