Radiology and Anatomy- good revision Flashcards
what can ultrasound penetrate
gas filled structures
what can cause indentation of an oesophagus on an CT
anatomical structures e.g. arch of the aorta
what is the oesophagus posterior to at the thoracic inlet
trachea and great vessels
how does the oesophagus descend in relation to the aorta and the left main bronchus
descends adjacent to aorta and passes posterior to left main bronchus
how is the oesophagus related to the heart
passes posterior to the heart, indented by the left atrium
via what does the oesophagus transverse the diaphragm
via the oesophageal hiatus
where does the oesophagus join the stomach
at the gastro-oesophageal junction
at what level does the oesophagus pass through the diaphragm
t 10
at what level does the vena cava pass through the diaphragm
t 8
at what level does the aorta pass through the diaphragm
t 12
what is in the right upper quadrant
liver, gall bladder, biliary tree, duodenum (1st-3rd parts), pancreatic head, colon (hepatic flexure, AC, TC), right kidney/ adrenal gland
what is the blood supply to the kidney
portal vein (80%) hepatic arteries (20%)
describe the venous drainage of the liver
via hepatic veins to IVC
what forms the common hepatic duct
right and left hepatic ducts
what forms the common bile duct
the cystic duct (drains the gall bladder) and the common hepatic duct
where does the common bile duct drain
into the 2nd part of the duodenum via the ampulla of vater
what is the role of bile
emulsifies fat in digestion
what forms a c shape around the pancreatic head
the duodenum
where is the ampulla of vater located in the duodenum
medial wall of the 2nd part
what parts of the duodenum are retro/ intra peritonal
the 2nd part is retroperitoneal, rest intraperitoneal
where does part one of the duodenum start
at the pylorus
what directions are the different parts of the duodenum travelling in
1- up and back
2- descends vertically
3- horizontal, inferior to pancreas
4- upwards to DJ flexure and ligament of triez
what is the ligament of treiz
the suspensory ligament of the duodenum
is the pancreas intra or retro peritoneal
retroperitoneal
what are the parts of the pancreas
uncinate process, head, neck. body and tail
what does the pancreatic duct go into
joins common bile duct and drains into ampulla of vater
what does the splenic vein join with
SMV to from the portal vein
