It is behind the stomach and the omental bursa, and in front of the diaphragm, on the level of the first lumbar vertebra.

CT scanning can also be useful for finding omental caking or differentiating fluid from solid tumor in the abdomen, especially in low malignant potential tumors.
13.
Usually found in mammals, it is connected with the greater sac via the omental foramen ( previously known as the " Foramen of Winslow " ).

A growing body of evidence also suggests that different fat depots ( i . e . abdominal, omental, pericardial ) yield adipose-derived stem cells with different characteristics.
15.
From its upper part it joins to the neck of the pancreas at a well-marked prominence, the "'omental tuber "'which abuts the lesser omentum.
16.
It was also shown that a mesenteric con�uence occurs at the ileocaecal and rectosigmoid junctions, as well as at the hepatic and splenic �exures and that each confluence involves peritoneal and omental attachments.
17.
As a radical treatment for portal hypertension, surgical creation of a portacaval fistula produces an anastomosis between the hepatic portal vein and the inferior vena cava across the omental foramen ( of Winslow ).
18.
The "'lesser sac "', also known as the "'omental bursa "', is the cavity in the abdomen that is formed by the lesser and greater omentum.
19.
It begins on the right in the omental tuber, and is in relation with the celiac artery, from which the hepatic artery courses to the right just above the gland, while the splenic artery runs toward the left in a groove along this border.
20.
It is connected with the lesser sac via the omental foramen, also known as the " foramen of Winslow " or " epiploic foramen ", which is anteriorly bounded by the portal triad portal vein, hepatic artery, and common bile duct.
