Study on Role of CECT Abdomen in Intestinal Obstruction: A Clinical Approach | Chapter 14 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 5
Intestinal blockage, which can be dynamic or adynamic, is a common clinical occurrence. The traditional proverb "Never let the sun set or dawn on a plugged intestine" was taught to prevent missing strangulation. Helical CT can accurately describe the level, degree, origin, and difficulties associated with obstruction thanks to its multiplanar reformatted imaging. The study's goal was to show the range of MDCT findings in cases of minor and large bowel obstruction, as well as the relationship between CT scan findings and intraoperative findings and the cause of intestinal blockage. Methods: 50 patients with clinical and MDCT evidence of intestinal blockage were prospectively included in the trial, and surgical/clinical follow-up for final diagnosis was provided. MDCT was used to do CT scans on all of the patients (Brightspeed GE 16 slice system). To assess the location and aetiology of intestinal blockage, the axial sections were rebuilt in coronal and saggital planes. Adh...
