MDCT of small-bowel disease: value of 3D imaging

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2006 Nov;187(5):1212-21. doi: 10.2214/AJR.04.1762.

Abstract

Objective: Our objective is to show the various clinical applications of MDCT enterography for evaluating small-bowel disease, with a focus on the added value of 3D imaging.

Conclusion: MDCT and refined 3D imaging processes can offer a full examination of the small bowel as well as powerful information about the bowel and its surrounding structures.
