Background/Aims
Computed tomography (CT) hepatic volumetry is currently accepted as the most reliable method for preoperative estimation of graft weight in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). However, several factors can cause inaccuracies in CT volumetry compared to real graft weight. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and degree of resection plane-dependent error in CT volumetry of the right hepatic lobe in LDLT.
Methods
Forty-six living liver donors underwent CT before donor surgery and on postoperative day 7. Prospective CT volumetry (V_P) was measured via the assumptive hepatectomy plane. Retrospective liver volume (V_R) was measured using the actual plane by comparing preoperative and postoperative CT. Compared with intraoperatively measured weight (W), errors in percentage (%) V_P and V_R were evaluated. Plane-dependent error in V_P was defined as the absolute difference between V_P and V_R. % plane-dependent error was defined as follows: |V_P–V_R|/W∙100.
Results
Mean V_P, V_R, and W were 761.9 mL, 755.0 mL, and 696.9 g. Mean and % errors in V_P were 73.3 mL and 10.7%. Mean error and % error in V_R were 64.4 mL and 9.3%. Mean plane-dependent error in V_P was 32.4 mL. Mean % plane-dependent error was 4.7%. Plane-dependent error in V_P exceeded 10% of W in approximately 10% of the subjects in our study.
Conclusions
There was approximately 5% plane-dependent error in liver V_P on CT volumetry. Plane-dependent error in V_P exceeded 10% of W in approximately 10% of LDLT donors in our study. This error should be considered, especially when CT volumetry is performed by a less experienced operator who is not well acquainted with the donor hepatectomy plane.

Liver Transplantation

Influence of ultrasound contrast agents on spectral Doppler analysis in recipients of liver transplantation: Young Seo Cho, Kyoung Won Kim, Hye Young Jang, Bo Hyun Kim, Jeongjin Lee, Gi Won Song, Sung Gyu Lee, Dagvasumberel Munkhbaatar; Clin Mol Hepatol 2017;23(3):224-229.
Published online July 4, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2016.0064

Abstract
PDF

Background/Aims
Clinical validation is required to determine whether Doppler measurements are comparable before and after administering ultrasound contrast agent (USCA). The purpose of this study is to explore whether the use of USCA affects spectral Doppler analysis in recipients of liver transplantation (LT).
Methods
For this study, 36 patients were examined using Doppler ultrasonography (US) along with a contrast-enhanced US for surveillance of vascular complications after LT. The following spectral Doppler US parameters were measured before and after administration of USCA: peak systolic velocity, end-diastolic velocity, resistive index, and systolic acceleration time of the graft hepatic artery; peak flow velocity of the graft portal vein; and peak flow velocity and venous pulsatility index of the graft hepatic vein.
Results
The mean peak systolic and end-diastolic velocities of the hepatic artery and the peak flow velocity of the portal and hepatic veins were increased after intravenously administration of the USCA, ranging from 10% to 13%. However, the changes were not statistically significant (P=0.097, 0.103, 0.128, and 0.190, respectively). There were no significant differences in other measured parameters, including the resistive index (P=0.205) and systolic acceleration time (P=0.489) of the hepatic artery and venous pulsatility index (P=0.494) of the hepatic vein.
Conclusions
The measured velocities of graft hepatic vessels tended to increase after administration of USCA, but without statistical significance. The comparison of serial Doppler parameters with or without injection of USCA is valid during Doppler surveillance in recipients of LT.

Liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and portal hypertension

What we need to know when performing and interpreting US elastography: So Hyun Park, So Yeon Kim, Chong Hyun Suh, Seung Soo Lee, Kyoung Won Kim, So Jung Lee, Moon-Gyu Lee; Clin Mol Hepatol 2016;22(3):406-414.

Abstract
PDF

According to the increasing need for accurate staging of hepatic fibrosis, the ultrasound (US) elastography techniques have evolved significantly over the past two decades. Currently, US elastography is increasingly used in clinical practice. Previously published studies have demonstrated the excellent diagnostic performance of US elastography for the detection and staging of liver fibrosis. Although US elastography may seem easy to perform and interpret, there are many technical and clinical factors which can affect the results of US elastography. Therefore, clinicians who are involved with US elastography should be aware of these factors. The purpose of this article is to present a brief overview of US techniques with the relevant technology, the clinical indications, diagnostic performance, and technical and biological factors which should be considered in order to avoid misinterpretation of US elastography results.

Liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and portal hypertension

Portal flow steal after liver transplantation: Bohyun Kim, Kyoung Won Kim, Gi-Won Song, Sung-Gyu Lee; Clin Mol Hepatol 2015;21(3):314-317.
Published online September 30, 2015; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2015.21.3.314

Abstract
PDF

Portal flow steal occasionally persists even after the liver transplantation, which may reduce the portal flow and thus threaten the patients' outcome. Therefore, pre- and peri-operative detection of portal steal phenomenon requiring radiological or surgical interruption is essential for the liver transplantation candidates as well as for the recipients.

Hepatic neoplasm

Recent advances in the imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma: Myung-Won You, So Yeon Kim, Kyoung Won Kim, So Jung Lee, Yong Moon Shin, Jin Hee Kim, Moon-Gyu Lee; Clin Mol Hepatol 2015;21(1):95-103.

Abstract
PDF

The role of imaging is crucial for the surveillance, diagnosis, staging and treatment monitoring of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Over the past few years, considerable technical advances were made in imaging of HCCs. New imaging technology, however, has introduced new challenges in our clinical practice. In this article, the current status of clinical imaging techniques for HCC is addressed. The diagnostic performance of imaging techniques in the context of recent clinical guidelines is also presented.
