No, its on an oblique angle, will not see it all in a coronal slice either because the head is more anterior than the tail. Body, because of longitudinal divide, the head and tail are more back. Pancreatic duct (never going to be a vessel) (cid:862)du(cid:272)t of wi(cid:396)su(cid:374)g(cid:863), you can see it well, it drains/ empties into second part of the duodenum. Do we see the head of the pancreas in this image: yes, run through the head of the panc: The artery is always anterior of the 2. Spleen is highly vascular, if it is punctured it bleeds. Will not have to differentiate between splenic artery or splenic vein.
