A The vertebral level of the inferior mesenteric artery root was determined by the volume reconstruction technique, and the values of DIMA-SMA (the vertical distance from IMA root to SMA root), DIMA-AB (the distance from IMA root to the bifurcation of AA), and \(\overline{\mathrm{D} }\)IMA (the distance from IMA root to the level of the sacral promontory) were measured. B Distance from the root of the IMA to the first branch of the IMA (dIMA). IMA inferior mesenteric artery, SMA superior mesmesic artery, AA abdominal aorta, AB the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta
