AB  - The  liver  is  divided  into  eight  major  subsegments  or  sectors  (including  the  caudate  lobe),  with  the  principal  line  (Cantlie’s  line)  of  division  between  the  right  and  left  sides  extending  cephalad  and  obliquely  from  the  middle  of  the  gallbladder  fossa  to  the  center  of  the  inferior  vena  cava  between  the  right  and  left  main  hepatic  veins  (figure  1,  a–a′).  The  true  anatomic  left  lobe  thus  defined  is  divided  into  medial  (segment  IV)  and  lateral  segments  (segments  II  and  III)  approximately  along  the  line  of  the  falciform  or  round  ligament,  and  each  of  these  segments  is  then  subdivided  into  a  superior  (cephalad,  II)  area  and  an  inferior  (caudad,  III)  sector  (figure  2).  In  contrast,  the  right  lobe  (segments  V–VIII)  is  divided  into  anterior  and  posterior  segments  by  a  plane  from  the  anteroinferior  edge  of  the  liver  that  extends  both  superiorly  and  posteriorly.  This  cleavage  is  similar  to  the  oblique  fissure  above  the  right  lower  lobe  of  the  lung,  and  it  is  roughly  parallel  to  it.  These  segments  of  the  right  hepatic  lobe  are  then  split  into  superior  (segments  VII  and  VIII)  and  inferior  (segments  V  and  VI)  areas  similar  to  those  on  the  left  (figure  2).
