MDCT parameters were the following: the colli- mation was 1.5 mm and the table feed was between 20 and 30 mm/rotation. The tube parameters were 200–240 milliampere second at 120 kV. Axial images were reconstructed with 3 mm slice width at a 2 mm recon- struction interval. The reconstructed image data was networked to an interactive workstation (Leonardo, Siemens). Images viewed at different window settings and multiplanar reformation were performed, if neces- sary. Data analysis was included as follows: MDCT Fig. 1.

Red latex was injected into GBA to show its location. depth of tumor extraluminal extension; the presence of gastrophrenic ligament invasion; and lymph nodes in the GBA or along the subphrenic retroperitoneal space. The MDCT findings to be analyzed were agreed on before surgery. The results of physical examination, primary tumor stage, or laboratory data were not known at the MDCT scanning interpretation. Prospective MDCT readings were used for data analysis, both overall and site specific, MDCT official reports were generated during clinical readings overseen by two abdominal sec- tion professors (P. M., K.Y). All patients underwent surgical resection and each surgical specimen was axially dissected. MDCT findings were compared with the pathology examination of each tumor bearing slice, respectively. Findings from the surgical and histologic reports were used as the standard Fig. 2.

Abdominal wall and the pelvis 2- Visceral peritoneum - covers the viscera 3- Peritoneal cavity - the potential space between the parietal and visceral layer of peritoneum - in male, is a closed sac - but in the female, there is a communication with the exterior through the uterine tubes, the uterus, and the vagina ▪ Peritoneum cavity divided into Greater sac Lesser sac Communication between them by the epiploic foramen The peritoneum The peritoneal cavity is the largest one in the body. Divided into tow sac : .Greater sac; extends from diaphragm down to the pelvis. Lesser Sac .Lesser sac or omental bursa; lies behind the stomach. .Both cavities are interconnected through the epiploic foramen(winslow ). .In male : the peritoneum is a closed sac . .In female : the sac is not completely closed because it Greater Sac communicates with the exterior through the uterine tubes, uterus and vagina. Peritoneum in transverse section The relationship between viscera and peritoneum Intraperitoneal viscera viscera is almost totally covered with visceral peritoneum example, stomach, 1st & last inch of duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, vermiform appendix, transverse and sigmoid colons, spleen and ovary Intraperitoneal viscera Interperitoneal viscera Retroperitoneal viscera Interperitoneal viscera Such organs are not completely wrapped by peritoneum one surface attached to the abdominal walls or other organs.

The walls of this balloon form the parietal peritoneum, therefore lining the anterior and posterior abdominal walls, and the diaphragm above, and the pelvic viscera below. and غشاء البالىن يحيط بكل يدي ,therefore …زي ما أجيب إيدي وأدخلها بالبالىن المنفىخ The visceral peritoneum is remains attached to the posterior abdominal wall. Such organs are intraperitoneal organs, such as the stomach, jejunum, ileum, spleen, and the transverse colon. So the peritoneum consists of: 1- Parietal peritoneum which lines all the edges of the abdominal cavity. 2- Visceral peritoneum which covers the intraperitoneal viscera. So the difference between the parietal and the visceral peritoneum; is that the parietal only lines the edges of the abdominal cavity; the anterior and the posterior abdominal wall, and the diaphragm and pelvic viscera. However, the visceral completely covers certain viscera. The visceral peritoneum might also extend from the viscera to the posterior abdominal wall by two layers forming the mesentry (for the intestines) and the mesocolon (for the colon). 3- Peritoneal cavity It is the remaining abdominal cavity between the parietal and the visceral layers of the peritoneum. The peritoneal cavity or sac is a potential space; it might not be found as an open space, but if you pump air into it, it will reveal itself. In the male the sac is completely closed, but in the female it is open to the exterior by the vagina (how: the vagina connects the exterior of the body to the uterus then to the fallopian tube.
