Intestinal ischemia, which refers to insufficient blood flow to the bowel, is a
potentially catastrophic entity that may require emergent intervention or surgery
in the acute setting. Although the clinical signs and symptoms of intestinal
ischemia are nonspecific, computed tomography (CT) findings can be highly
suggestive in the correct clinical setting. In our article, we review the CT
diagnosis of arterial, venous, and nonocclusive intestinal ischemia. We discuss
the vascular anatomy, pathophysiology of intestinal ischemia, CT techniques for
optimal imaging, key and ancillary radiological findings, and differential
diagnosis.
