[An x-ray computed tomographic study of peritoneal ligaments and various mesos].
The CT analysis of peritoneal ligaments and mesos is possible thanks to the fluid contrast introduced by ascites, but also by identification of their contents: fat and opacified vascular elements. Ascites renders easy the display of the falciform ligament. Other displayed ligaments are the smaller omentum, the gastrosplenic ligament, the splenopancreatic ligament, the phrenolienal and phrenocolonic ligaments, the mesocolon, the mesosigmoid, the mesentery and the broad ligaments. The radioanatomic patterns of those peritoneal elements are depicted.
