The inferior vena cava is frequently involved in diseases of the abdomen and retroperitoneum. Critical evaluation of this vessel's course can greatly help in determining the origin of an adjacent mass. Ultrasound was used to divide the inferior vena cava into three parts. A vector type principle was applied to masses anteriorly displacing the vena cava, and the location of the mass was compared to the particular portion of the cava most affected. With this approach, it was often possible to determine what structures a mass may have originated from.
下腔静脉常受累于腹部和腹膜后疾病。对该血管走行的关键评估有助于极大地确定相邻肿块的起源。超声被用于将下腔静脉分为三个部分。向量类型原则应用于使腔静脉向前移位的肿块，并且将肿块的位置与腔静脉受影响最严重的特定部分进行比较。通过这种方法，通常能够确定肿块可能起源于哪些结构。
