Abstract
My first experiences with computed angioportography or computed angio-tomography (CTA or CTAP) of the liver began about sixteen years ago at M.D. Anderson. At the time of its introduction it was a technique that was viewed with a degree of scepticism by clinicians and it has taken a considerable time for it to become more widely accepted, both in the USA and worldwide. Even now, although it is being used much more prior to surgery in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and colon carcinoma, it is still a highly invasive technique. It is not suitable for use in all cases and so the techniques does have restrictions.
