A 3D reconstructed CT view of the kidneys and ureters, which connect the kidneys to the bladder. Part of the ribs, spine and pelvis are included in this image.
Appendicitis: The appendix (A) is distended and inflamed. In this patient the appendix has not yet ruptured.
3D modelling of CT (computed tomography) images of the abdomen in a cancer patient.
Axial CT of Abdomen and Pelvis Normal study.
CT slice through the mid-abdomen showing multiple normal-appearing organs, which are labeled.
CT scan of a normal appendix in the right lower abdomen. The appendix normally connects with the right colon and contains air (this appears black on the scan). Air in the appendix excludes appendicitis since this means that the appendix is not obstructed or inflamed.
Normal CT of the abdomen. A CT 'slice' through the upper abdomen of a child illustrates the normal appearance of both kidneys, the liver and gallbladder.
Reformatted image of the mid-abdomen creating a 'slab' showing the liver and intestines. The abdominal aorta and branches going to the liver, spleen and stomach are visible. This view is looking up toward the head of the patient.

3D-CT of the aorta
3-dimensional reconstruction of a CT scan showing an aortic endograft and femoral artery bypass graft.
Abdominal aorta with atherosclerosis. 3-dimenstional images of the abdominal aorta reconstructed from CT images. Volume rendered images (left) and maximal intensity projection (right) reconstructions show atherosclerotic plaques (arrows) in the origins of the vessels supplying blood to the bowel.
Abdominal aorta and arteries to the kidneys and intestines.
Closed loop small bowel obstruction shown on a CT scan.
CT image of the pelvis of a woman shows the uterus (arrow) and ovaries (arrowhead).
CT (CAT scan) of the pelvis shows contrast in the small bowel and the urinary bladder. Air and feces are seen in the large intestine.
