Concepts for Liver Segment Classification: Neither Old Ones nor New Ones, but a Comprehensive One.
Concepts dealing with the subdivision of the human liver into independent vascular and biliary territories are applied routinely in radiological, surgical, and gastroenterological practice.

Possible clinical implications are addressed.
