Is Colonoscopy Necessary after Computed Tomography Diagnosis of Acute Diverticulitis?
BACKGROUND/AIMS A diagnosis of acute diverticulitis is based on computed tomography (CT). Colonoscopy is commonly performed after the acute event to exclude other diagnoses. This study aimed to determine whether colonoscopy is necessary and what additional information is gained from a colonoscopy after acute diverticulitis. METHODS Acute diverticulitis was diagnosed by clinical criteria and c...
متن کاملTotal coronary artery plaque burden measured by cardiac computed tomography is associated with metabolic syndrome.
AIM Increased coronary plaque burden, which could be involved in the pathogenesis of atherothrombotic events, is difficult to evaluate in the three major coronary arteries. The purpose of this study was to quantify coronary plaque volume using 64-slice computed tomography (CT). METHODS We measured coronary plaque volume with our new protocol in 23 consecutive patients (48% men; 66 ± 11 years ...
متن کاملMultidetector computed tomography of mesenteric ischaemia
UNLABELLED Mesenteric ischaemia comprises a broad, heterogeneous group of diseases characterised by inadequate blood supply to the small or large bowel. Acute mesenteric ischaemia is a surgical emergency, with significant associated morbidity and mortality. Because the clinical presentation of mesenteric ischaemia is variable and often nonspecific, a high index of clinical and radiologic suspic...
متن کاملImpact of Visceral Adiposity Measured by Abdominal Computed Tomography on Pulmonary Function
Although an inverse relationship between abdominal adiposity and pulmonary function has been suggested, direct measurement of abdominal adipose tissue has rarely been attempted. Our object is to determine the impact of abdominal adiposity on pulmonary function by directly measuring abdominal adipose tissue with abdominal computed tomography (CT). In this cross-sectional study, we included never...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Severe Diverticulitis in Computed Tomography-Confirmed Acute Diverticulitis in Korea
BACKGROUND/AIMS Acute complicated diverticulitis can be subdivided into moderate diverticulitis and severe diverticulitis. Although there have been numerous studies on the risk factors for complicated diverticulitis, little research has focused on severe diverticulitis. This study was designed to identify the risk factors for severe diverticulitis in an acute diverticulitis attack using the mod...
