Figure 10b. Contrast-enhanced CT images at progressively lower levels show a liver laceration extending to the level of the inferior vena cava, with evidence of active extravasation and hemoperitoneum, in a patient after a motor vehicle collision. At surgery, the liver was found to be totally avulsed from the inferior vena cava, leaving the latter open at the level of the diaphragm.
