  • Title: Intrahepatic biliary anatomy of living adult liver donors: correlation of mangafodipir trisodium-enhanced MR cholangiography and intraoperative cholangiography.
    Author: Kapoor V, Peterson MS, Baron RL, Patel S, Eghtesad B, Fung JJ.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2002 Nov; 179(5):1281-6. PubMed ID: 12388514.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to assess the usefulness of mangafodipir trisodium-enhanced MR cholangiography for evaluating intrahepatic biliary anatomy of adult living liver donors and to correlate the results with intraoperative cholangiography. CONCLUSION: Mangafodipir trisodium-enhanced MR cholangiography accurately shows the biliary anatomy in the livers of donors. Noninvasive preoperative evaluation of the biliary anatomy in donor candidates is important for the detection of common anatomic variants that may require alternative graft-harvesting surgery.
