Objective    To establish the model of Chinese visible liver in order to provide the thin-sectional anatomic base at random direction for hepatic ultrasonography.     Methods    The sectional images collected from the Chinese visible human liver were used to establish the model of visible liver with the aid of visible software and were compared with the corresponding ultrasonic sections of liver.      Results    The model of Chinese visible liver was achieved and could be sectioned at random direction. Each section could be displayed distinctly

especially the course and distribution of intrahepatic vessels

and had good corresponding relationship in comparison to those of ultrasonic sections of liver.      Conclusion    Our model of the visible liver can provide the distinct and integrated sectional anatomic data for hepatic ultrasonography.
