The celiac artery arises from the anterior surface of the abdominal aorta and immediately divides into 3 branches: the common hepatic, the splenic and the left gastric arteries. The above ultrasound and Color Doppler images show the normal celiac artery with the 2 main branches, the splenic and common hepatic arteries. The left gastric is not visualized usually on sonography, being a small branch.
