Abstract:
Assessment of the complex anatomy of the groin region using different imaging modalities is important to identify those pathological conditions that may present with atypical symptoms. In obese patients or in the presence of complications, physical examination may be unremarkable and instrumental studies based on non-invasive techniques (e.g., ultrasounds) do not allow accurate assessment of this region. Multidetector CT scanning and reconstruction can provide useful information on inguinal canal anatomy and its related diseases, contributing to timely therapeutic interventions.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
