Issue Date: | 30-Aug-2021 | Date: | 2021-08-30 | Publication information: | Insights Into Imaging 2021; 12(1): 123 | Abstract: | The inferior vena cava (IVC) is the largest vein in the body, draining blood from the abdomen, pelvis and lower extremities. This pictorial review summarises normal anatomy and embryological development of the IVC. In addition, we highlight a wide range of anatomical variants, acquired pathologies and a common pitfall in imaging of the IVC. This information is essential for clinical decision making and to reduce misdiagnosis. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/27439 | DOI: | 10.1186/s13244-021-01066-7 | ORCID: | 0000-0002-3567-2013 | Journal: | Insights Into Imaging | PubMed URL: | 34460015 | ISSN: | 1869-4101 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Anatomical variations Embryology Inferior vena cava (IVC) Thrombus Tumour |
