Small bowel MDCT

Abstract

Imaging has always been critical in the evaluation of the small bowel, because of poor accessibility with conventional endoscopic techniques. And also new endoscopic imaging methods (i.e. capsule endoscopy and double-balloon and push enteroscopy) have not completely solved the diagnostic problem in many clinical situations involving the small bowel, and they are still considered complimentary, second- or third-level tests, to be used in restricted clinical scenarios (Flamant et al. 2009).
