| Abstract: | Small bowel obstruction (SBO) remains a vexing clinical challenge to radiologists and surgeons. Despite advances in diagnosis, low-grade SBO can be easily missed on computed tomography (CT). Multidetector CT enteroclysis using positive oral contrast combines the volume challenge of enteroclysis with the cross-sectional multiplanar capability of multislice helical CT and allows for volume rendering of the densely opacified intestines. Such 3-dimensional models may ultimately simplify the understanding of the obstructive process as well as assist in surgical planning. Copyright © 2005 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. |
