CT Volumetry of Liver Donor is a specialized CT examination that uses detailed imaging and 3D reconstruction to measure total liver, graft, and future liver remnant volumes, supporting donor safety assessment and precise surgical planning for living-donor liver transplantation.

Yes. Detailed CT images can be analyzed to estimate the volume of specific liver segments or sections, which helps surgeons plan the appropriate graft according to the donor's anatomy.
A sufficient amount of functioning liver tissue needs to remain with the donor after surgery. CT volumetry helps the transplant team estimate the remaining liver volume before surgery as part of donor safety assessment.
Preparation depends on the centre's protocol and whether contrast is being used. You may be asked to fast for a specified period and may require assessment of kidney function before contrast administration.
It provides quantitative 3D assessment of liver anatomy and volume, including the potential graft and future liver remnant, while also providing valuable anatomical and vascular information. This supports donor safety assessment, graft selection, and precise surgical planning for living-donor liver transplantation.
