Introduction to Tomography Enterography

Objective The objective of this study was to determine if dual-energy computed tomography enterography (DECTE)–obtained iodine density can predict medical management change or surgery in Crohn disease patients.

Computed tomography enterography (CTE) is nowadays accepted as a principal modality for the assessment of small bowel diseases.

Computerized tomography enterography (CTE) clearly depicted the site, level and cause of the obstruction in all the patients with a sensitivity and specificity of 96 % and 100 % respectively.

Abdominal imaging [Computed tomography enterography (CTE) or magnetic resonance enterography (MRE)] of CD patients initiating therapy with VDZ was evaluated, up to 4 months before VDZ initiation.

Computed tomography enterography (CTE) texture analysis (TA) features were extracted from lesions and analyzed using LIFEx software.

Computed tomography enterography was then performed and showed a short segment of bowel wall thickening.

The aim of this study was to retrospectively determine if quantitative measurements of computed tomography enterography (CTE) imaging findings correlate with histopathologic scores from biopsy specimens in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD).

Computed tomography enterography showed numerous varices of the midjejunum (Figure 2).

Objectives To determine the most preferable endoluminal contrast agent among mannitol, polyethylene glycol (PEG), iohexol, and water by comparing various qualitative (distension, fold visibility, and homogeneity) and quantitative parameters (distension) along with artifacts and patient feedback for computed tomography enterography (CTE).

In particular cases, additional examinations were required (small bowel capsule endoscopy, computed tomography enterography, and magnetic resonance enterography).

In established cases, small bowel cross-sectional imaging (magnetic resonance or computed tomography enterography) is preferred over VCE as it can assess transmural and extra-luminal involvement.

Previous studies have demonstrated that SBCE has an enhanced diagnostic yield compared with small bowel radiological imaging, ileocolonoscopy, computed tomography enterography (CTE), or magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) [4].

Computed tomography enterography and magnetic resonance enterography are presently state-of-the-art radiological tests to examine the small bowel in patients with Crohn’s disease.

Computed tomography enterography (CTE) and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) showed the segmental wall thickening of the small bowel.

Use of oral and intravenous contrast in computed tomography enterography and magnetic resonance enterography demonstrates IBD involvement in the small intestine wall, which is difficult to assess in other radiological and endoscopic examinations.

Material and methods Computed tomography enterography (CTE) images in a three-year period were included randomly in our institutional review board-approved and retrospective study.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the computed tomography enterography (CTE) characteristics of bleeding Meckel diverticulum.

The diagnosis was made on the basis of radiology (Computed Tomography Enterography or Magnetic Resonance Enterography) and/or endoscopy (gastroduodenoscopy or ileocolonoscopy).

Purpose To evaluate computed tomography enterography (CTE) findings obtained on CD patients achieving endoscopic CR after anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α therapy.

This study aimed to assess the clinical utility of computed tomography enterography (CTE) and identify factors associated with a diagnostic CTE for patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB).

To compare the performances, tolerability and acceptability of mannitol and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as oral contrast agents in patients undergoing computed tomography enterography (CTE).

Only with computed tomography enterography pathognomonic changes in the small intestine and the abdominal cavity were identified as pathognomonic for Crohn’s disease.

Computed tomography enterography (CTE) confirmed strictures manifested within the thickened small bowel and normal mesenteric vasculature (▶Fig.

Computed tomography enterography demonstrated active jejunal/ileal disease and, corresponding to our endoscopic findings, a 1.

The diagnostic accuracy of IC-CEUS in demonstrating the presence of fistulous tracts was compared with that of computed tomography enterography/magnetic resonance enterography [CTE/MRE], using surgical and gross pathological findings as the reference standard.

Eighty-two percent of surgical SB lesions were diagnosed preoperatively on Tc99m pertechnetate scan, computed tomography enterography–angiography, and capsule endoscopy; remaining 18% were diagnosed at laparotomy with intra-operative enteroscopy (IOE).

During the last year, he underwent a gastroscopy, a colonoscopy and a computed tomography enterography that failed to reveal an underlying organic disease: a diagnosis of functional dyspepsia was made.

Cumulative 24-month disease-related complications (corticosteroids, change of biologic, hospitalization, surgery) in patients undergoing proactive disease monitoring with lower endoscopy, fecal calprotectin, or cross-sectional radiographic enterography (computed tomography enterography or magnetic resonance enterography) within 6 months of biologic initiation vs no early monitoring after biologic initiation were compared.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of computed tomography enterography (CTE) to magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) in adults with CD.
