CT enterography: principles, technique and utility in Crohn's disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
CT enterography is a modification of conventional CT technique optimized for the evaluation of small bowel. This technique utilizes multidetector scanners with high spatial and temporal resolution; multiplanar reconstructions; and large volumes of enteric contrast to provide bowel distension. This article discusses the essential principles of the exam and its use in the evaluation of Crohn's disease of the small bowel.

Crohn's disease is a chronic disease with an unpredictable course. Patients with Crohn's disease will have to undergo numerous imaging tests. Crohn's disease often affects young people, who are more vulnerable to the harmful effects of repeated exposure to ionizing radiation. The high resolution of tissues on MR enterography give it a diagnostic accuracy similar to that of CT; however, MR enter...

متن کاملCT enterography: concept, technique, and interpretation.
CT enterography is a new imaging modality that has distinct advantages over conventional CT, wireless capsule endoscopy, and barium examination. CT enterography is noninvasive and allows rapid mapping of disease activity before endoscopy and in cases where the endoscope cannot reach the diseased segment. CT enterography is readily available, is operator independent, and allows evaluation of ext...
