## 5 Conclusions  
The variations in the anatomy of the CT are a common finding that has been subject to research. Incidental findings have been detected during radiological investigations and cadaveric dissections. Knowledge of the anatomy of the CT and its branches; the possible variations in the length, diameter, and vertebral level at which it originates; and the branching pattern is of great importance in surgical cases. Radiological interventions, i.e., angiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance, require precise knowledge of the artery and are important in surgeries following trauma, treating aneurysms, liver transplantation, laparoscopic surgeries, and helping in endovascular interventions. Adequate knowledge of the normal and abnormal variants of the CT may help in reducing

This study was supported by Sultan Qaboos University (grant number: UF/MED/ANAT/24/02).  
The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board (or Ethics Committee) of Sultan Qaboos University (REF. No. SQU-EC/070\(\backslash\)2024 MREC # 3271, 28 April 2024).  
The patient consent was waived because the study was a retrospective analysis of anatomical variations of the celiac trunk in computed tomography angiography and reported the anonymous data without revealing any identification details of the patients.  
Since this study involves data from SQUH patients, its availability was restricted. The raw data are available upon request from the corresponding author.
