lüll CT enterography as a diagnostic tool in evaluating small bowel disorders: review of clinical experience with over 700 cases Paulsen SR; Huprich JE; Fletcher JG; Booya F; Young BM; Fidler JL; Johnson CD; Barlow JM; Earnest F 4thRadiographics 2006[May]; 26 (3): 641-57; discussion 657-62Computed tomographic (CT) enterography combines the improved spatial and temporal resolution of multi-detector row CT with large volumes of ingested neutral enteric contrast material to permit visualization of the small bowel wall and lumen. Adequate luminal distention can usually be achieved with oral hyperhydration, thereby obviating nasoenteric intubation and making CT enterography a useful, well-tolerated study for the evaluation of diseases affecting the mucosa and bowel wall. Unlike routine CT, which has been used to detect the extraenteric complications of Crohn disease such as fistula and abscess, CT enterography clearly depicts the small bowel inflammation associated with Crohn disease by displaying mural hyperenhancement, stratification, and thickening; engorged vasa recta; and perienteric inflammatory changes. As a result, CT enterography is becoming the first-line modality for the evaluation of suspected inflammatory bowel disease. CT enterography has also become an important alternative to traditional fluoroscopy in the assessment of other small bowel disorders such as celiac sprue and small bowel neoplasms.|*Contrast Media[MESH]|*Gastrointestinal Agents[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Inflammatory Bowel Diseases/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Intestine, Small/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Practice Guidelines as Topic[MESH]|Practice Patterns, Physicians'[MESH]|Radiographic Image Enhancement/*methods[MESH]|Reproducibility of Results[MESH]|Sensitivity and Specificity[MESH]|Tomography, X-Ray Computed/*methods[MESH] |
