Seven adult male mongrel dogs were monitored by electromagnetic flow probes and string occluders around the hepatic artery and portal vein. Then, time density curves of the liver, aorta and portal vein were recorded using dynamic CT scanning following the bolus injection of contrast material into a peripheral vein (n = 7) and a mesenteric vein branch (n = 5). Information on total hepatic blood flow could not be obtained from the mesenteric vein injection. The hepatic time density curve could, however, be broken into its two components, hepatic arterial and portal venous flow contribution, by selective ligation of the hepatic artery or portal vein. It could be demonstrated that the arterial component of liver enhancement reached its peak at the end of the aortic wash-out of contrast material. Thus, the hepatic time-density curve could be broken in its two components by superimposing the aortic time density curve onto the hepatic curve. An attempt was made to estimate relative portal venous blood flow by using the slopes or the peaks of both components of the hepatic curve. Using the slopes of the hepatic curve resulted in a consistent underestimation of portal venous blood flow, whereas the peaks gave an estimate of portal venous flow with an accuracy within +/- 8%.
