Recently, evaluation of hepatic artery variations has become increasingly important as liver transplantation from live donors gains in popular. Many diagnostic tools can be used to evaluate hepatic artery anatomy. Multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) is one these methods. In this case report, we represent MDCTA findings of Michel type IV variation, which is a very rare condition of hepatic arteries.
