Diagnostic accuracy of CT enterography correlated to histopathology in the diagnosis of small bowel Crohn's disease.

Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory process affecting the gastrointestinal tract, mainly the terminal ileum of small bowel. Although ileocolonoscopy provides good mucosal visualization, it does not allow evaluation of extraluminal abnormalities. Computed tomographic enterography (CTE) is an emerging imaging modality for assessment of small bowel disorders.

Coronary computed tomography angiography versus invasive coronary angiography: medical staff perceptions and diagnostic interest in Gaza-Palestine.

We explore the perception of medical staff toward the interest of CCTA and ICA in diagnosis CAD to maximize the utility of both procedures.
