Abstract
The segmental localization of liver tumors is critical to planning appropriate resection. Couinaud's nomenclature is a surgically relevant system of hepatic segmental anatomy, which defines the liver segments by their relationships to vascular structures, hepatic ligaments, and the gallbladder. We demonstrate a way to accurately localize hepatic masses with sonography.
