A member asked:
I had an abdominal ct (preventative)im a 34 y/o male. it says celiac axis is diffusely large caliber measuring 13mm in diameter. it is widely patent. superior mesenteric artery is patent. it measures 10 mm in diameter. is this ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The diameter of each of these arteries seems a bit large. Since this was an incidental finding on a “preventative” CT scan, there is no context. Please schedule a visit with your physician to discuss possible causes and implications of these findings.
