Clear images to give you a clear answer on the question: where is the liver located. Your liver is partly protected by the rib cage. Your liver consists of two lobes: the right lobe is about six times the size of your left lobe.
Where is the liver in the body?
The scan from father’s metastatic liver cancer should be interpreted as follows:
Where is your liver located ?
The above picture from father’s scan where father is lying on his back. Imagine you are standing at father’s feet looking up:
So in order to know where is the liver located in the human body you need to remember that in the MRI scans you are looking from below and up.
In father’s post of November 2006 where is my liver located, father confusingly described you should look at the scan from above. It was just in indication from what was to come: having a liver not cleaning up his blood properly, his brain would start to play tricks on him.
Another "up side down" example was when father one evening wanted to lower the window shutters. In stead started to pull at them.
When no shutters came down, father thought it was because he was loosing strength so he started to pull the shutters full force.
It took lots of persuasion and a few minutes of time before father realised he was pulling the shutters up in stead of letting them down…
