Contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen shows mild focal narrowing of the celiac artery just distal to its origin over a length of approximately 7 mm, with post-stenotic dilatation. Reverse J-shaped configuration of the celiac artery is noted distal to the narrowed segment. Mild thickening of the median arcuate ligament is seen. 3D volume rendered images demonstrate similar findings.
