Figure 2. Animal 8. A–D, Contrast-enhanced CT scans of the liver in this minipig were obtained approximately 6 hours after embolization with coils (arrows in D) of the portal vein branches (EMB) supplying the median and left lobes. Contrast material was injected through the portal vein catheter. The images were obtained in an oblique axial plane to best demonstrate the enhancement difference between the right and left lobes. GB = gallbladder, PER = hepatic segments still perfused by the portal vein, ST = stomach.
