Explaining complex normal, abnormal, or post surgical liver anatomy is complicated, but is a crucial step in helping the care team understand and support their patient’s needs. A thorough understanding, particularly of post operative hepatic transplant, is vitally important.

However, the lack of available tools to quickly illustrate this complex anatomy creates a challenge. In the past, providers often had to rely on freehand sketches.

MyLiverArt changes all that. Developed by Children’s Mercy Hospital, the easy to use digital tool allows anyone on the care team to quickly produce an anatomically correct, artist-quality rendering of a patient’s specific liver anatomy. The illustration becomes an invaluable tool to help the team understand the specifics, capturing normal, abnormal, or post surgical changes as it relates to the liver.
