Fig. 2A 73-year-old woman with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Volume renderings
of arterial dominant phase of imaging show accessory hepatic artery
(arrowhead) arising from superior mesenteric artery. Artery is not
color encoded because it does not cross through surgical plane, although
documenting its presence for surgeon is important. A superior
pancreaticoduodenal artery has aberrant origin from this vessel, and its long
course is in surgical plane (arrows). Because it crosses surgical
plane, this aberrant superior pancreaticoduodenal artery is removed during
workstation simulation of Whipple procedure and is color encoded in
volume-rendered CT angiogram. Biliary stent (asterik, B) is in
place and is also color encoded as it crosses surgical plane.
