Animals in the Body The Sun sets the Pace in a Radiology Department in Africa in the Presence of a Giraffe and a LionAshley Davidoff MD Shark Treat in the PortaThe cirrhotic liver has a small right lobe and a large left lobe as a compensation for reduced size and function of the right lobe. This gives the left lobe a snout like shape in contrast to the small triangular right lobe. This liver thus takes on a shark head like appearance and the structures (arteries vein nerves and ligaments entering the porta of the liver look like shark feed.Derived from a transverse view of an abdominal CT scanAshley Davidoff MD Copyright 201819886b05b07.8 Creation of the Shark Treat in the PortaDerived from a transverse view of an abdominal CT scanAshley Davidoff MD copyright 201819886c02.8 The Woodpecker in the Caudate lobeThe normal caudate lobe of the liver in cross section has a woodpecker like appearance with a biconcave shape to the beak.
