Abstract

Cross-sectional imaging techniques (ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) will depict abdominal lesions in the connecting folds of tissue that constitute the mesentery (including small bowel mesentery, mesocolon, mesosigmoid and mesoappendix) and omentum (including both greater omentum or epiploon) and lesser omentum or gastrohepatic ligament. All of these folds of tissue are covered by peritoneum.
