Liver inferior markings showing right/left lobe vs. vascular divisions [ID 114]
There's a Hepatic "H" on inferior of liver. One vertical stick of the H is the dividing line for anatomical
right/left lobe and the other vertical stick is the divider for vascular halves. Stick that divides the liver into
vascular halves is the one with vena cava impression (since vena cava carries blood, it's fortunate that it's
the divider for blood halves).
