SP - A60 EP - A61 VL - 79 IS - N2 - Background: Cadaveric research has widely influenced our understanding of clinical anatomy. However, while many soft-tissue structures remain quiescent after death, other tissues undergo structural and functional changes that may influence their use in predicting living anatomy. In particular, our understanding of vascular anatomy has been based upon cadaveric studies in which vascular tone and flow do not match the living situation.
