The assessment and classification of anatomy of hepatic artery is an essential step for both diagnosis and management of various diseases in the upper abdomen. Development of non- invasive imaging techniques for this purpose is an urgent problem. Our results suggested that anatomy of hepatic artery can be assessed and classified using non-contrast MR arteriography using time-SLIP technique at 3T-MRI.
