Evaluation of the celiac trunk and its branching pattern by magnetic resonance angiography

The study aimed to examine the celiac trunk (CT) in detail by magnetic resonance angiography, to determine the locations, positions and variations of the CT, to provide detailed information for surgeons and interventional radiologists, and to reduce the time spent in the catheter angiography.

Description
Summary:The study aimed to examine the celiac trunk (CT) in detail by magnetic resonance angiography, to determine the locations, positions and variations of the CT, to provide detailed information for surgeons and interventional radiologists, and to reduce the time spent in the catheter angiography. MR angiography images of 185 patients with abdominal imaging in PACS (Picture Archiving Communication Systems) were retrospectively analyzed. The level of origin of CT, according to the vertebral column, angle of origin, distance between CT and branches of the abdominal aorta (AA), and the branching pattern of CT were evaluated. Parameters were evaluated according to gender and age. The most common origin site for CT, according to the vertebral column, was found to be at T12-L1 in both genders. There was a low, positive correlation between age and CT-Sagittal angle (SA) in the whole study group (p
