An axial abdominal image from early postmortem MDCT in a 42 -year-old cardiac arrest woman demonstrates a small elliptical abdominal aorta (black arrows) with a minor/major-axial diameter ratio of 0.47. The dilated IVC (black arrowheads) had high-attenuated sedimentation with a fluid-fluid level (white arrow) and attenuation difference of 22 HU between the upper and lower halves of the lumen.
