the two portions of the caudate lobe of the liver that can be tagged.

the liver is caudal to the
right medial lobe and
cranial to the caudate
lobe. It is smaller than the
right medial lobe.
The left medial lobe
of the liver is cranial
to the left lateral
lobe. It is the smaller
of the two lobes on
the left side.
quadrate
The quadrate lobe of the liver is
only found on the right side. It is
between the gall bladder and the
left medial lobe. It gets its name
because it is sometimes four sided
in appearance.

liver is cranial to the right
lateral lobe and lateral to the
quadrate lobe. It is larger
than the right lateral lobe.
