CT enterography is a specialized imaging technique used to evaluate the small intestine and surrounding structures in detail. It helps in diagnosing and monitoring various gastrointestinal conditions, particularly those affecting the small bowel.
Uses:
- Diagnosis of Crohn's Disease: CT enterography is instrumental in diagnosing and assessing the extent of Crohn's disease in the small intestine.
- Evaluation of Bowel Inflammation: It helps in identifying areas of inflammation, strictures, or complications in the small bowel.
- Detection of Tumors or Masses: CT scans can detect tumors, abscesses, or other abnormalities within the small intestine.
- Assessment of Bowel Obstructions: CT enterography aids in diagnosing and characterizing bowel obstructions, including those caused by adhesions or tumors.
- Monitoring Disease Activity: Serial CT enterography scans assist in monitoring disease activity and treatment response in patients with gastrointestinal disorders.
Others:
- Detailed Visualization of Small Intestine: CT enterography provides detailed images of the entire small bowel, including the mucosal lining and adjacent structures.
- Non-Invasive Assessment: It is a non-invasive alternative to invasive procedures like small bowel endoscopy (enteroscopy).
- Guidance for Treatment Planning: CT findings guide treatment decisions, including medical therapy or surgical interventions for gastrointestinal diseases.
