Accepted Answer

T8

Answer

The three hepatic veins drain into the IVC at the T8 level, just below the diaphragm, and this confluence is visible on axial cross-sectional imaging.

Question 4

On MRI of the shoulder, which rotator cuff tendon passes under the coracoacromial arch and is most commonly torn?

Accepted Answer

Supraspinatus
