title: The celiac ganglia: anatomic study using MRI in cadavers.
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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  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.
