The celiac ganglia: anatomic study using MRI in cadavers

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2006 Jun;186(6):1520-3. doi: 10.2214/AJR.04.1765.

Abstract

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.
