Purpose: We aimed to examine the superior mesenteric artery in detail by magnetic resonance angiography to provide an alternative to other imaging methods, to reduce the exposure time of patients and physicians to X-rays and the time spent in catheter angiography, to determine the variations, positions, and locations of the celiac trunk, and to provide detailed information for surgeons and interventional radiologists using this method.
Methods: The procedures were approved by the Kocaeli University Medical School Non-Interventional Clinical Research Ethics Committee (10.04.
Objective: 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.
Material And Methods: 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.
