Abstract
The development of MSCT, as regarding the thinner
collimation, the faster scanning and the high resolution imaging
of the whole abdomen in one breath hold hindering motion
artifacts, has expanded the role of MSCT in the imaging of the
small and the large bowel. With this acquisition method, a whole
abdominal volume can be obtained instead of only single slices as
with former CT units.
The aim of our study was to highlight the role of MSCT in the
diagnosis of bowel diseases whether small or large bowel, acute
or chronic diseases as a primary investigating tool or a follow up
investigating tool for a known bowel disease.
This study was conducted on 30 patients complaining of
symptoms suggestive of small and/or large bowel disease were
referred for abdominal or abdominopelvic MSCT. We tailored
the technique of the MSCT according to the clinical picture of
these patients. The referring physicians specifically requested
MSCT colonography and MSCT enterography for some of the
patients.
