Celiac trunk arterial variations and their clinical implications: Role of imaging
摘要
The awareness of anatomical variations of hepatic arteries and celiac trunk is very important in interventional radiology, liver transplant and intra-abdominal oncologic surgeries. Radiology plays an important role in the identification of these variants non-invasively. Digital subtraction angiography was the gold standard for their identification. Computed tomography (CT) angiography non-invasively provides detailed knowledge of various anatomical vascular variations. This pictorial review highlights the role of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in the identification of celiac trunk–hepatic arterial system variations and clinical consequences.
