Correctly identify anatomic structures on patient computed tomography (CT) images of the abdomen. common anomalies that may confuse the viewer when determining image location. Compared to the other vertebrae, these can be distinguished by their large size and the absence of costal facets and transverse foramina. ANATOMIC OVERVIEW The abdomen is generally considered as the region of the body between the chest and pelvis. Although this seems quite simple, the boundaries of the abdomen are often defined differently by different texts because the abdominal cavity extends well into each of the adjacent regions. The most superior boundary of the abdominal cavity is the dome-shaped diaphragm, which allows a considerable part of the abdomen to lie within the bony thoracic cage. Inferiorly, the abdominal cavity extends into the pelvis and occupies most of the false or greater pelvis, leading some individuals to consider the pelvis as the lower part of the abdomen. Because the abdomen and pelvis are often imaged separately, the pelvis will be further described in the next chapter. Enclosing Structures ¯ ˘ Diaphragm (DI -a -fram). The .
