You are scanning a patient with a known mass in the left medial segment of the liver. What anatomic
landmark can you use to identify the left medial segment separate from the right anterior segment of
the liver? - ✔✔Middle Hepatic Vein
Which organ is the largest visceral organ in the body ? - ✔✔Liver
Where is the major portion of the liver, the right lobe located? - ✔✔in the right upper quadrant of the
abdomen
What organ is covered in large part by the peritoneum , except for a small area posterior to the dome
known as the bare area? - ✔✔the Liver
Which organ is covered in a layer of fibrous tissue, glisson's capsule? - ✔✔the Liver
You suspect enlargement of the caudate lobe in a patient with liver disease. What structure located at
the anterior border of the caudate lobe will help you to identify this lobe of the liver? - ✔✔Fissure for
the ligamentum venosum
You are asked to rule out the presence of a recannalized paraumbilical. Which anatomic structure is a
useful landmark in location of this structure? - ✔✔Ligamentum teres
What is the left portal vein in contact with? - ✔✔Ligamentum teres
,Where does the paraumbilical vein begins? - ✔✔begins at the left portal vein and exits the liver at the
ligamentum teres
Which vessel course within the main lobar fissure? - ✔✔middle hepatic vein
Oxygenated blood is supplied to the liver via the: - ✔✔Portal vein and hepatic artery
You are performing a sonogram on a slender female and notice a long, thin extension of the inferior
aspect of the right lobe of the liver. The most likely represents: - ✔✔Reidel's lobe
What forms the caudal border of the left portal vein? - ✔✔Ligamentum teres
What ligament divides the left lobe of the liver into medial and lateral segments? - ✔✔Ligamentum
teres
You are asked to perform a Doppler study on the hepatic veins in the liver. What differentiates the
hepatic veins from the portal veins? - ✔✔the portal veins are accompanied by branches of the biliary
tree and hepatic artery
You have detected a mass anterior and to the left of ligamentum venosum. This mass is located in what
lobe of the liver ? - ✔✔Left Lobe
The thin capsule surrounding the liver is known as: - ✔✔Glisson's capsule
What courses interlobar and intersegmental within the liver? - ✔✔Hepatic veins
You are performing an ultrasound exam of the liver on a small patient with a 5MHz curved linear array.
Although you have increased the overall gain to its maximum setting, the posterior border of the liver
and diaphragm are not visualized. What should you do? - ✔✔Rescan the liver with a lower frequency
transducer.
, Correctly describe the probe placement and imaging plane you would use to demonstrate the three
hepatic veins and inferior vena cava in the one view? - ✔✔Subcostal oblique approach with the probe
angled superiorly and to the patient's right.
You are performing a follow-up sonogram on a patient in which a 5 -mm cyst was previously identified
at the anterior border of the left lobe liver. Although you are using a 3.5 MHz curved linear array probe,
you do not see the cyst. What would be most helpful in improving visibility of this cyst? - ✔✔Rescan the
left lobe with a higher frequency transducer. Visibility of small cysts is limited by spatial resolution. To
improve spatial resolution, the best option is to increase the imaging frequency.
What do you need to do to improve spatial resolution to visualize small cysts (which has a limited spatial
resolution)? - ✔✔The best option is to increase the imaging frequency
You are imaging a patient with a high liver. Subcostal images do not clearly demonstrate the liver tissue.
What should you do? - ✔✔Scan the patient in deep inspiration
A patient is referred for ultrasound evaluation of a questionable mass in the dome of the liver seen on a
CAT scan. What would improve visualization in this area of the liver? - ✔✔Perform a subcostal scan with
the probe angled superior and the patient in deep inspiration
A patient is referred for a liver ultrasound with the clinical history of a raised serum alpha-fetoprotein
level. What should you look for? - ✔✔Hepatocellular carcinoma
If a non pregnant person with elevated levels of serum alpha-fetoprotein AFP , what is associated with
this? - ✔✔Hepatocellular carcinoma, germ cell tumor of gonadal, retroperitoneal, or mediastinal origin.
Sometimes with cancer of pancreas, stomach, or biliary system.
What may produce modest serum AFP elevations? - ✔✔Hepatitis and cirrhosis
You are reviewing lab work prior to performing an abnormal ultrasound exam. Elevated lab values
include Gamma- glutamyl transpeptidase -GGT and alkaline phosphatase. What would it be? -
✔✔Concomitant elevation of both GGT and alkaline phosphate indicates the source of the elevated
alkaline phosphatase is the liver.
