Following an outline of the technology involved in preparing casts and the types of casts made, this atlas devotes a whole section to three blood vessel systems as well as the biliary system. Apart from normal anatomy, it presents all other major structural variations together with the liver blood vessel structures and bile ducts of each liver segment. The last section shows correlations between systems as well as the division of the liver into sectors and segments. The different systems were each injected with coloured dyes to produce around 100 striking photographs of liver casts. This close collaboration between a surgeon and an anatomist ensures that the atlas is ideal for clinical practice.
