Computed tomography enteroclysis in the diagnosis of intestinal diseases
Abstract
The role of computed tomography (CT) enteroclysis in the imaging of small bowel diseases is expanded with recent technological advances in multidetector CT system. Computed tomography enteroclysis is the examination of choice for patients with symptoms of intermittent small bowel obstruction, especially when there is a history of prior complex abdominal surgery, abdominal tumor, radiation therapy, and also in high grade obstructions with suspicion of extraintestinal internal fistula. Computed tomography enteroclysis is becoming the first-line modality for the evaluation of advanced and complicated small bowel Crohn disease. Computed tomography enteroclysis can also become an important complementary imaging technique to capsule endoscopy in the assessment of small bowel neoplasms and occult gastrointestinal hemorrhage. In this study, the technique and clinical applications of CT enteroclysis are reviewed; its advantages and limitations compared with the other imaging techniques and capsule endoscopy are discussed.
