Three-step method for detection right-sided ligamentum teres (RSLT) hepatis in axial images established by Yamashita et al. [2]. (i) The first step: identify the connection of the round ligament (or the round ligament notch) to the umbilical portion of the portal vein (UP, yellow circle). (ii) The second step: set an axis (dotted line) on the portal vein from the main portal vein (MPV) to the UP. (iii) The third step: identify the diverging points of the dorsal branch of the right anterior portal segment (PA–D, blue arrow) and the left lateral portal segment (PLL, green arrow). The diverging point of PA–D is distal to that of PLL in RSLT liver and proximal in normal liver
