Key result
MRI accurately visualizes large, gadolinium-labeled celiac ganglia in cadavers to guide in vivo identification.
Why the study?
Facilitating in vivo identification of the celiac ganglia on MRI requires anatomical reference data from cadaver imaging.
Can MRI accurately identify the celiac ganglia in cadavers?
Can MRI accurately identify the celiac ganglia in cadavers?
MRI can accurately identify large, gadolinium-labeled celiac ganglia in cadavers, providing a reference for in vivo identification.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Offers cadaveric MRI reference for celiac ganglia; leaves open in vivo feasibility and clinical utility.
OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to facilitate the in vivo identification of the celiac ganglia on MRI by using MRI to identify the celiac ganglia in cadavers. CONCLUSION: MRI can show the celiac ganglia accurately in cadavers when the ganglia are large and labeled with gadolinium. The findings in cadavers can be a reference for identifying the celiac ganglia in vivo.
