This video deals with the anatomy of abdominal viscera and walls as they appear in transverse anatomical sections and axial CT sections. The video begins with a transverse anatomical section at the level of the T8 vertebra and continues down to the level of the L5 vertebra. There is a special emphasis on sections at the level of T10, T12, L1, L3, & L4.

The anatomical sections are arranged to match CT & MRI sections to provide a better understanding of the imaging anatomy of the abdomen. The arrangement of abdominal structures is followed in (22) serial transverse sections of the abdomen and compared to 5 representative axial CT sections at different levels.
The anatomical sections are selected from the Visible Human Project. For more information about this project refer to: [ Ссылка ]
Five short video clips are inserted where necessary to explain the 3-D relations necessary to understand the 2-D sections.
Presented and edited by Dr. Akram Jaffar (Ph.D.). Plastic model clips filmed by Parwiz Akbari (medical student). Filmed at the College of Medicine/ University of Sharjah, UAE. 2012.

Viscera:
Lungs, liver, spleen, gastroesophageal junction, fissure for ligamentum venosum, gallbladder, caudate lobe, porta hepatis, common hepatic duct, cystic duct; pancreas: head, neck, uncinate process, body, and tail; spleen, hepatic flexure, splenic flexure, kidney; duodenum: first, second, and third part; stomach, pyloric antrum, pyloric canal, pyloric sphincter, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, cecum, jejunum, ileum, plicae circularis, rugae, umbilicus.
