Abstract:
The method of computer tomography was used to study the individual and age-related differences were found in the topography of pancreas, kidneys, abdominal aorta and in the shape of adrenal glands. Morphometric studies performed resulted in the description of the range of these differences and in the establishment of average quantitative parameters. It is concluded that the results of computer tomographic analysis may be used for the studies of intravital topography of the abdominal and retroperitoneal organs of individual patients and for description of variants of localization of different anatomical structures.
