Abstract

Recently, evaluation of hepatic artery variations has become increasingly important as liver transplantation from live donors gains in popular. Many diagnostic tools can be used to evaluate hepatic artery anatomy. Multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) is one these methods. In this case report, we represent MDCTA findings of Michel type IV variation, which is a very rare condition of hepatic arteries.
