The left lateral view (LLV) in liver scans is not a routine view in many institutions and has not been thoroughly described in the literature. To determine the limits of normal in the LLV, the authors examined this view in liver scans of 56 patients whose six-month follow-up showed no clinical or laboratory evidence of liver disease. The distribution of normal shapes and axis angles is described. Neither of these descriptors showed significant correlation with age, sex, weight, height, or body surface area, except for a slight correlation between axis angle and sex. The authors conclude that the appearance of the left lobe of the liver on LLV is not related to body habitus. The role of the LLV in routine liver scanning is yet to be defined.
