Exploration of the coeliac trunk for its morphometry and positional relationships using cadaveric and radiological methods

•MDCT studies in the past have explored variations in the branching pattern with very few studying diameter and stem length.•Morphometry of CoT and positional relationship to other ventral branches of aorta was studied using the MDCT technique.•Significant differences in the values between males and females was observed for CT-AB distance, CT-SMA distance and CT-IMA distance.•Average stem length showed no statistically significant difference between genders or between cadaveric and radiological specimens.
