Infection via the portal system(portal pyemia) : The infectious process originates within the abdomen and reaches the liver by entering the portal vein. Appendicitis and pylephlebitis are the predominant causes. However, any source of intra-abdominal abscess, such as acute diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and perforated hollow viscus, can lead to portal pyemia and hepatic abscesses. 2, record 4, English, - portal%20pyemia

Rarely, the thrombus may be of higher attenuation which is typical of freshly clotted blood.

The liver has been described as a collection of units called lobules, each of which contains, in its centre, a branch of the hepatic vein and, in its outer areas, a complex known as a portal tract. The portal tract includes a bile duct, a small branch of the portal vein, and a branch of the hepatic artery. 1, record 10, English, - portal%20tract

The hepatic lobules are small structural units of the liver enclosed by a thin layer of connective tissue formed by the branches of the Glisson's capsule. Where several lobules join, the connective tissue is more abundant and encloses a blood vessel, vein, nerves, lymphatic vessels, and small bile ducts. The structures together with the connective tissue form the "portal canals". 2, record 10, English, - portal%20tract
